OK, after much fiddling today, I got the untouched carb on there and working. It had a few issues but i worked them out.

Right now I have two problems with it. One is the idle seems erratic. I smoothed that out with adjusting the mixture but it still seems rough compared to the Eddy 750 AFB.

Also, I feel a slight lean surge at part throttle.

I saw a comment online while searching today that a drop base air cleaner will cause the carb to idle strange as it outs the lid too close to the idle bleeds. Might this be my issue? I could drive a little with it off and check I suppose.

So far it has been less smooth than the Eddy was and that was why I wanted to change it out
