Alternately, I would like to try another engine with just the teflon piece as a crush washer and no gasket but I haven't built an engine for myself in some time that I can experiment with.

That's what I was getting at, no o-ring or gasket. Just the teflon piece.

That right there is an awesome idea. I meed to look into that for the next engine IFF it continues to be a problem with this one.

I was told that by removing the bacll and spring (Yes they will always be open) and replacing them with the weber or MazdaComp jets, the idle psi will suffer to the point where the idle should be raised slightly to bump the pressure. This is why I shied away from changing the jets out. No-one could tell me with any certainty what the idle psi would be on a street car. Just that it would be to low for a street car idle. What have been your experiences.
Something else I was going to try was going to be removing the ball and spring but leaving the factory jet in. Seems like a nice compromise
