Thank you for the conformation. This leanness occurs immediately on opening the throttle. [ opening slowly so as not to obscure with pump shot or overexpose the transfer slot. the engine goes into a lean shutter and will then regain fuel and run fine. If you snap the throttle fast, it will just about die.] I did raise the float level up to 3/4 and that helped. I'm hesitant to go too high as I don't want fuel wash on braking or corning. This is an idle circuit problem as it happens before main circuit activation. This has been a long process as each change which were many entails rewarming resetting idle and test driving for each and every change.
Thanks to this site and to everyone's help.
