Victor:
Just to add a little more info on the issue of the centering nozzle. There is
a single thin washer (16130-25610) that rests between the nozzle and the carb
body. This washer can cause problems if you try to reuse it, as it becomes
deformed from being crushed, then it is no longer flat, and will cause the
nozzle to sit at an angle. It then becomes impossible to properly center the
nozzle until the washer is replaced. As a side note, we have also found
several bent nozzles over the years, though we are still puzzled how they got
that way.

PS: The average time to center a nozzle is 3-5 minutes.

Ken, Your getting good advice so far. Here's my take;
Needle - Nozzle Alignment
If the nozzle is not aligned in the center of the needle's path, all sorts
of crazy variables get thrown into trying to tune them. This is what the old
"clunk test" is about. There's an easy, sure way to do this and a tinker
around frustrating way.
Or you can just loosen the nozzle lock nut, move it around, get it wrong, do
it again, make it worse, Do it some more ... and Again .. . over and over
and over and, if your lucky, you just might get it. I can't seem to
succeed in this method at all!
