Place note that screwing the jets up and down is to adjust the mixture
not setting the idle speed. You use the idle speed adjusting screw
located on the side of the carbs to adjust the idle speed. Use
these screws to get the idle speed as close to 700-800 rpm as possible
then lift the damper by 1/32" if the engine speeds increase, turn the
jet up lean the carb. because that means your mixture is rich.
Turn the jet down if the speed decreases. Repeat this until you get
to the 7-800 rpm idle speed and the engine speeds up and then settle
down when the damper raise by 1/32"
Also, Is your engine running way rich all the time now? If it is, you
might want to check the needle valve at the top of the float. They might
not be sealing properly and letting gas through so you always have a rich
mixture. Another thing is to take the dash pot and damper off and look
down at the jets. The fuel level should be around 1/16" to 1/8" below the
top of the jets. If not, check the float levels.
I hope I'm making sense at 2:20AM, good luck.
