There is absolutely NO WAY I would start playing with transfer slots, and drilling holes in the butterflies until I got the idle screw issue figured out.

I'm with Brian on this one, that motor isn't going to want to idle much below 950 rpm at best, if that's where she's happy, then that's where she needs to be. You may however find that changes once you get your issue figured out.

Exactly which carb are we talking about? Some models, that screw adjusts the air/fuel mixture for the idle circuit, on other it does not. TRUST ME, read on.

On MY carb, those screws did squat for air/fuel ratio. That is determined internally, all those screws did was adjust the AMOUNT of air/fuel that got fed through the idle circuit. Yes, I learned that in the book too. heehehe

Brian, we need to make you a "book on tape" so you can listen to it on your way to work! hehehehehe
