It very well could be that an adjusting needle seat was accidently installed in place of the compensator jet , that goes in the left rear carburetor bowl . the two parts look very similiar and have been known to get mixed up. It happened to me once over twenty years ago. After installing the correct compensator jet, the problem was solved. You can observe pictures of these parts on pages 61 and 63 of the newest Brattons catalog.
