List,
my carb was running VERY rich from off idle thru the whole range. i found the inlet needle seat had a burr on it when it was factory drilled that kept the rubber tipped needle valve from seating. i gently trimmed it with a larger drill bit ( hand held ) and polished the seat with a wooden dowel and valve grinding compound. this helped but i found out later that the older white floats were not strong enough to seat the needle or maybe they were misaligned. the newer black floats solved the problem. they are also Ethanol / alcohol tolerant. i was not using Ethanol based fuel.
