Weber carburator setup

Hello,

I have a Weber DGV 5A (32/36) carb on my 78 Midget.

I know that it is running too rich (emission, black plugs, smoke, backfiring
...)

I went to a friend's place and he has a cool TRANSPARTEN spark plug that you
can place to replace an plug in your engine and SEE the spark, especially
how yellow/blue it is! Really cool toy!

Ok, so here are the results of the test:

In order to be OK, I had to:
Change the primary jet to 1.30 (from 1.40)
COMPLETLY close the idle mixture (and increate the IDLE speed in order to
avoid the engine stalling)!

This seams to give a much better mixture (emission WAY low, plugs much
better, no smoke, no backfiring)...

However, I am not happy with the Idle setup and I plan to change the idle
primary jet from the standard .55 to .50 or even .45...

Does anyone has a similar setup and can tell me how their carb is tuned up?

Thanks, Cyrille
