Has it been rebuilt recently? I’ve rebuilt a couple recently, and there was lots of debris/dirt/etc in most of the fuel passages in the towers/brass needles. Also, you might want to check the accelerator pump function.

It has been rebuilt twice in about 3 years I think. Last time was a little over a year ago. I could get it rebuilt again but with both rebuilds it has popped while driving under a load and sounded of a small vacuum leak somewhere. I have a tuned “by ear” turn the screws in until it bogs then half to 1 turn out. I might need to set the idle throttle screw back some. I have a video of it running today I will share.
