More carburetor questions and opinions..

Which is what my gut suspected all along. That means it is running lean. Everything I have read says to jet up a few sizes when using a single stage power valve in the place of a two stage. But my question is, since the jets are not on the idle circuit, how can jetting up help to achieve getting the idle mixture right? Are these different in that aspect as well?

Not sure in this instance, but some carbs draw fuel from the idle circuit after it is metered through the primary jets. I will look this evening for a flow diagram......
