Posting here to be up top obvious.

Also in new thread elswhere on BrkBrd.

"It makes no sense to me, but new jets seem to have fixed it.

I tanked the bodies overnight just to make them pretty, and reassembled with new jets only and it runs up fine, at the basic settings with minimal tuning (balance flow at idle).

I should do a flow/drip test on the old jets.

I'm still going to try ZH needles which are a little richer. "

I also carefully reset the throttle plates. Loosened the screws, tapped body while jiggling plate until they were as fluid tight as possible. But that was not the issue.

I do NOT like that I threw parts at it.
