In response to Mr. Sinister
The long and short of it is this: I'm not content to just drop a new carb on the car and call it "good enough", because what separates cars that perform "good enough" and the cars that perform exceptionally is taking the time to tune things the right way. Bolting on a carb and setting the curb speed is not good enough for me, and that's why this little engine performs the way is does. It's not a race car, but I do want it to perform on the street as well as it can within my knowledge and ability.
I tuned everything to work with the old carb as best I could, and now with a new, better performing carb on the engine, I have to start over. I asked questions, I listened to answers, and the difference from "good enough" to where it was is not an accident.
I'm asking what I'm asking because there is more than one single factor that controls the in-gear idle, and I'm looking for the best place to start, now that everything else is set where it needs to be set, including curb idle speed. I don't want to sound like a dick here, but if I didn't know the simple basics, I wouldn't be messing with it in the first place.
