Questions??

Got a question for all you Go engine Guru's. I have a Gen5 5pt that is doing some strange stuff. I've been running these motors for a while now and this one has be confused. This thing has no low speed control. It's idle or wide open. One would think it was too lean but the needles are set richer than factory settings unless I am mistaken. HSN is flush which should be rich or about right. LSN is 1 turn out from flush. Got the short LSN in it. Idle gap is .9mm. I set it with the smooth side of a .035 drill bit. It will idle all day long. Run it on the track and it's wide open or idle. Blows plenty of smoke too. It's like there is a gap between idle and wide open where nothing happens. Makes it hard to work the technical areas of the track with no bottom to midrange. Any ideas besides throw an OS carb on it? Thanks.
