Cruise Seems Lean

#1 is definitely drilled in both carbs and has a vacuum hose nipple screwed in mine (pic above was NOT my carb/s)

#2 is tapped to a depth of ~ 0.5-0.625" but it appears is deadheaded at the end.

These are my actual carbs.

Interesting your carbs have no secondary metering block, cant say I have ever seen that before.
How the hell does that work?
