Up until this point, I think you're ok, but being able to turn the idle mixture screw in all the way either says you have too large of a idle jet or your idle speed is too high.

now you've lost me.

a little too rough of an adjustment for fine tuning use 1/8 turns

accel would be the white spacer mod, but tell me about the air box, what was there before and what's there now?
