Rick,
heve you contacted Pierce Manifolds?
They are the west coast Weber importer and supposedly will help you select
the right jets etc.  AFAIK, they don't have a minimum order either.
Normal adjustemnts to a progressive carb should be limited to main jets
and air correctors.  Emulsion jets and pump jets etc. should be pretty
much standard for all Spridget engines and Pierce shoudl be able to tell
you what will work.
