Once you get to fine tuning things, check to see if there are any air leaks on those carb flanges that mate with the heads. They're known to warp due to overtightening...that creates a leak. It's a straightforward process to lap them flat again. I believe Duane talks about this on his site.

There's another peculiar thing that can happen to these carbs...I noticed it on mine. The central jet tower can work it's way up into the throat, affecting the positioning of the slide. Duane also mentions tapping this back flush.
