I've been having posting to and receiving messages from MGS lately, but =
got this, so here goes:

If you have HS cabs then if the jet has not been centred correctly the =
piston won't fully descend, which can cause stalling.

Wind the jet down as far as it can go and see if that allows the piston =
to fully fall.  If it does not, then there is another problem such as a =
bent needle, piston binding against the cover, etc.

If the piston fully drops with the piston lowered, then wind the jet up =
to be flush with the bridge while you recentre the jet, then you can be =
sure that with the jet wound back down to its normal running position it =
will be clear.

Jet will bubble up out of the jet, with the ignition on, if the =
vent/overflow plumbing is blocked.  This goes via the charcoal canister =
if that is what you have.

The idle with HS carbs (unlike HIF carbs) will gradually fall if left =
idling long enough, like several minutes.  But if it drops sooner than =
that try pressing the butterfly cams onto the idle screws as soon as you =
release the throttle, and see if that makes it idle lower straight away. =
 If it does then the butterflies aren't returning fully, which could be =
them binding in the carb throat, insufficient return spring pressure, =
binding linkages, insufficient free-play on the throttle cable, etc.

  The piston drops just fine with a good clank. When the piston drops =
with it inside the pot is when I get problems. It goes all the way down =
except but the last little bit....
