Thanks again kkim!
Heh, did the pilot jet swap as well without removing the carbs. Had a helluva time finding a screwdriver short enough to fit between the carbs & crankcase, but long & thin enough to reach the pilot screw head. I settled on 2 2/3 turns out; kinda surprised on how far I needed to turn it out but seems to behave a bit better now (checked for obvious leaks/blockages on intakes). If nothing else finally don't need choke to start in the summer.
