Mark:

I'm surprised it's *too lean* and you can't correct it by adjustment (since my
problem has chronically been the converse)!

How have you determined it's too lean; by a Colortune or "piston lift"
technique?  Have you tried to partially actuate the choke lever to see if that
corrects the mixture?

I have several "rich" needles and nozzles I can provide you for free! ;-)

Be really interested in the solution to this problem.
