I was able to put it now to 3.5 or 4 turns out(forgot which lol) and it is now idling below 2k. Any idea why? Would an electrical problem prevent it from idling correctly?
we are referencing both the pilot screws? At 3.5-4 turns out each? If so, I'd submit the needed overly rich settings are in compensation for constricted pilot passageways. They are tiny, clog quite easily. No secret these carbs are difficult to clean properly. Correct pilot screw settings should be nearer to 2 1/2 turn out, idle should be near to 1100-1200 with correct tuning.

Repair/correct the electrical end of things first.....then tuning.
