How can idle bleeds be put in the wrong place? More explanation of what you found and how you changed it is needed.
Could the engine builder have made changes after receiving the carb from Thumper? Could the carb have actually been ordered for a very different engine and found its way onto yours?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
