I will own up to the mess I made. I tried soldering iron,soldering gun,slotting,squaring the adjustment screw. It just continued to flake and crumble with each thing I tried. I then moved to an easy out kit and with each attempt things got worse and worse.On my last attempt I ended up drilling right thru the screw itself. I conclude to be a BAD machinist with hand tools and will not attempt any more half fast work on carbs. When it returns due to MANY thanks to Shepard I promise a full report how it works. I now have 4.1 hours this season back on the 21 mm carb with the EC adjustable main jet. I have the cold starting again working without a choke decent idling and killer top end. What I lost from the 3 jet is the smooth lower mid range between 2000-3000 rpms. At 3000 and above it cleans up nicely and I can stomp on it at any rpm without any stumbling. I suspect the main jet is set up a little rich but riding rather than tuning on these great weather days.
