I think I will have to. I rechecked the back one today and it
was VERY underadjusted. I must have mischecked it the first
time when I said it was ok. It's VERY off, it almost hits the
housing before it stops.
I really am surprised I could mismeasure it that badly. Perhaps
there is something moving around in the needle and seat, and last time
it landed
"better" before the test.
I guess I'll replace them with Grose Jets. Opinions? Are
they adjustable? The appear to screw in, perhaps they
adjust this way.

The front one is JUST under 1/8th so I thought it was
acceptable for now, but the back one is approaching zero. Perhaps
the back two cylinders were flooding which is why it sounded
like it would ALMOST start.
Thanks! Every day brings a new idea that makes me think
it'll explode to life with a simple fix.
