FWIW, I fought an H6 carb issue all spring too.  Randall is right (huh, go =
figger).  I had the same thing, a professional rebuild.  In the end, I woun=
d up buying a carb rebuild kit and following a YouTube video.  Eazy Peezy (=
peasy?  peasey?)


Happily the throttle shafts were reamed correctly, so in the end, after my =
rebuild, the carbs run perfectly at very nearly the initial 12 flat setting=
 after testing and adjusting for mixture. =20


I don't know about your preference, but if my carbs are on a deep end of th=
e Bell Curve, with little adjustment left, my choice would be at a minimum =
to pull them apart to check if the float valve or needles are sticking.=20


Good luck!
