Runs at FAST idle, not slow

Ok - I know it's been a while since my last post - but I've been working on my boat and enjoying the summer so haven't gave you guys an update on my situation. I got a spare carb of a different list # and jury rigged it up and it ran a bit better, so I went back to my original carb. Took it apart again - but this time I focused on the low idle circuit and used ACETONE to clean it along w/ compressed air. I took out the air mix screw, cleaned the screw hole w/ acetone, cleaned the small inlet inside the carb body, again more air, and held my finger over the slotted opening and blew in air again. It felt like something gave a bit as the acetone no longer dripped out the throat so I hooked it up and it ran like a charmer. Just wanted to give everyone an update in case this helps someone else having carb problems - love that acetone!!!
