Some carb advice for a new guy.

Not sure what you mean by 3-stage metering rods. I bought an AVS2 and a calibration kit (slight surging at part throttle). The rods in the kit are small at the tip, taper, and further up have a step. I suspect that that largest diameter doesn't actually enter the jet, given the carburetor configuration? I haven't changed anything yet, as it's a real mother female dog to get up there when I'm using a cane. At least I got the carb on and the truck running.
