Vance,
I can answer a couple of your questions. My springs are about 6 1/16"
long while horizontal, and have some blue paint on one end. I believe
this signifies the spring strength. I bought the springs a few years
ago during a rebuild. Considering that my carbs are sitting on the
workbench apart, you may not find much value in this post :-). (I have
what is probably the opposite of your problem - too rich a mixture, and
will be trying Dick's 0.75" float height suggestion...)
