extra fuel to slosh out of the sight hole. It is dangerous to run the
motor with the sight plug out. Keep a fire extinguser handy!

Start at 3/4 turn out then adjust for good idle. Try hooking up a vacuum
gauge (unported vacuum) then adjust for best vacuum.

Sounds like a bad needle and seat, fuel pump or clogged fuel line or filter.
Check your PVC valve, the hose connection plus the block under the carb for
excess carbon. PVC blocked= run too rich. PVC hose leak= run too lean.
