Put the old needles and seats with the mesh filters attached. Put the top back on the carb
and the first time it ran over as before. I then started it up and looked at the float levels.
Front was 3/4 and the rear was like 5/8. Adjusted the floats until the meniscus of the gas
level was at the half way mark on both bowls. Then I proceeded to adjust the idle and the
air mix. The air mix has very little impact and I could only get the idle to be stable at
around 1100 - 1200 rpm.

I can tell its running rich by the smell and the temp. So I think my main jets are drilled
out too far. Not surprised by this so I'll have to drop something in there the right size.

Didn't take it out for a test run yet and it still sometimes drops through the idle and
wants to die after coming off of a sudden throttle input.

Tomorrow I'll see if it still wants to run over after sitting when the pump runs. Thats
annoying at best.
