Alrighty guys. I might be retarded. There is a plug hole in the intake manifold and when I was reassembling everything, I didn't tighten it up. After I tightened it up, the idle changed so loose threads must've been hemorrhaging air to richen out the mix like crazy. Now the best mix is 1 full turn out I think so that sounds pretty good.

After I got that fixed, it slowly lowered rpms and died so I think that means that the float wasn't letting in enough gas. I'll open up the float a bit when it's not 95 degrees outside. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Thanks for your help guys.
