<How does it run past 3,000-3,500 rpm? If it's only
bad under those rpm's, then your progression circuit
may be clogged. Those are holes from the idle circuit
in front of the idle holes so that as the throttle
opens, these are uncovered and provide fuel until the
main circuit comes into full play. If it stumbles off
idle and hesitates alot, but then runs fine after
3,000-3,500rpm, that is probably your problem.
