Do what you want if you want leaner work the carb if you want more horsepower change the cam its all that simple as others suggested

No choke is choke and puke wont run good until completely warmed up

This is a second thread I started about engine running problem after replacing the camshaft with a stock one I was able to adjust the idle down and now there is no vacuum at idle. And it runs and sounds good so no need to go any further. Soon it will be ready to put away for winter and will be...

Well I had time to take the carb off and check it out I turned the idle screw out a few turns and the primary throttle blades close fine and cover the vacuum ports for the distributor fine.
