In addition to that, make sure the throttle shaft is tight in the baseplate...meaning no play. Also, the most important thing, double check to see that the o-rings are in place before you assemble carb. If you leave them out, or they are not sitting down all the way correctly, it WILL run rich/dump fuel.

As far as the "bog", it just takes some fine tuning with the secondary air door. And make sure your dashpot is good. Thermoquads are not bad at all once you get a feel for them. Every one I've gone through runs like new.
