Ok, did some serious driving today. Im not advocating drilling blades for everyone, but as a last ditch, this worked excellent for me.

Settled on 9/64 holes drilled in both front plates on the away side of the throttle shaft from the transfer slots.

The idle is outstanding. 850rpms just over square on the transfer slots and excellent off idle movement no stumble bumble of farts while driving at any engine speed or driving attitudes and Im a stickler for stuff running without a hitch. After hot driving (its 95* and high high humidity) I was able to lean the mixture screws down to 2.5 turns, maybe able to get another 1/8 to 1/4 turn after driving some more. I have notice I think that overall Im slightly more rich (Im attributing this to the extra turn on the mixture screw) but I really dont know because I dont have an A/F meter (yet). Could just be the heat. I plan on leaning the system by a 1/4 turn on the metering rod tree and see what happens. I will let yall know more in a day or so.
