I went ahead and swapped the diaphram/piston/needle assembly from one carb to 
another. The gunsens shows the mixture much more consistent throughout the 
RPM range. Now the only problem is the new piston shaft seal seems to be 
leaking the oil out of the dashpot. I know the fix was described before but 
does anyone know the size O-rings I need to make the repair?
BTW the original diaphragm was in good shape, no leaks that I could find, I 
think a PO must have done something with the needle.
Also has anyone retrofitted the older style adjustable jet set into a newer 
carb?
I'd like to have a vernier adjust for the mixture that I could adjust from 
the cockpit, use a EGT gauge to make fine adjustments to compensate for 
altitude and humidity.
