Combine that with the fact that the rear jet was 0.125" longer than the front. Weird set of equipment in this thing! There were several other issues that needed addressing on these carbs, including some play in the throttle shafts, and the wrong style throttle plates. I priced out various rebuild kits because it seemed like a good idea to just return everything to stock while I've got it apart now. In the end, I actually decided to send them to Rhys for a rebuild. Taking into account the hardware costs, I felt like his rates were very reasonable, and I've heard he does excellent work. So they're in the mail now. I do feel very satisfied with having found the real problem, and as strange as it sounds to now have someone else do the fix for me, it just seems worth it. While they're gone, I'll have a chance to convert to my alternator and replace my parking brake cable. The list goes on!
