Not experienced with the dip tubes, but I would say put it it like it

are the most accurate for achieving stoichiometry.  Using the manual  
and the rule of thumbs will get you real close.

No, the carbs are at a lower pressure and thus are inhaling the fumes  
for you.

All carbs will run rich if not properly adjusted

I hear the peripheral vision is not so great and could be a safety  
hazard.
