The important part to look at is the motion of the jets. When you pull 
out the choke, that brass lever will move up and the jets will lower. 
You may need to adjust the brass lever downwards to have a longer travel 
for the jets to go lower. Also, both jets should move downwards 
identically - if not, you may have to adjust the brackets that connect 
to the carb cam fast idle pieces.
