Doubt it's suppose to be like this so I loosened the 2 screws an got them squared up nice.The venturis are removable.Both of these are ever so slightly loose when seated. I'm pretty sure this has at least partly to do with my lean power condition.I can't see any way that I can safely tighten them up to maybe seal better, if they even are suppose to be tighter and for a better seal. I don't know.The logical next step is to jet the carb to what the engine needs.</blockquote>
