Carter BBD questions

No, it's not like that. I'm actually thinking more of like @Murray. It seems like when the main jets are needed is when it stats acting up, and the fact that if I lower the metering rods it get worse.

I forgot to mention that I drilled the main jets out .005 more, but that didn't make any difference. It's runs great from off idle to half throttle. As I said I can feel resistance in the throttle halfway, if I don't go past there it's great. I think the resistance is where the metering rods are hitting the plates that covers them. Idk.
