[body bolt]

I agree, they should have left it stock. It would have run fine and they'd at least have had a baseline. It's not a race car.

In that entire time, I've not changed anything except rebuild parts. It still has the original metering rods and jets! All those mods to the circuits on yours were completely unnecessary, IMO. I'd suggest finding another unmodified carburetor with the right part number and starting over, if you are set on that. BUT, if that "wrong" carb works, I'd leave well enough alone. What is your final intent? Concourse original, or not?
