That's not the way to set a carb... in my opinion.

With a (basically) high performance 2 stroke, I'd use a much more 'dynamic' approach (i.e, one method that changes the settings with response to something else, in this case: the conditions.)

If you post your email, I'll send you the method that I used to use with such motors. It'll show you how to judge the settings in response to what's happening at the track.

However, you apear to have dismissed the other possiblities like a leaking gasket. Just check the carb and 'manifold' before you open the engine. Is it REALLY as tight as you'd expect: are there ANY signs on that gaskets that it had been leaking? Had you left the motor 'standing' for the winter and could it hve suffered from condensation in an unheated garage.? There are LOADS of choices, not just the carb settings.
