This is the best pic I could get of it. It's the one on the right side of the picture...

I've been having trouble idling with the new engine. The carb is a street avenger 670, the cam is a thumpr. I recently got the problem almost 100% gone by cracking the secondary butterflies open a bit so I could close the primaries and still idle. Before cracking the secondaries open a bit, just to idle I had to have the primaries open so far that almost all of the transfer slot was showing.
Could this have anything to do with why I need so much air to idle? If it is, can I just carefully try and stick something in there to space it out properly?
