I guess as they say - in due time. I want to go one slot rich this PM and see what that does.

Also - we need a little two stroke theory here. Do these little engines need a pressure or vacuum lower case? I know some premix needs to go down for lubrication, but if vented does it really effect running???

Lastly - one detail I forgot. IF I have a intake leak - it's still at the carb/manifold interface - when that VIOLENT backfire happened yesterday I swear I saw some small amount of smoke at the joint as well as out the carb....I'm using a nice o-ring and sealant goop - but maybe something is fundamentally wrong at the interface not allowing a good seal.
