sudco's mikuni tech commented that all the "problems" i described come back to float needle and seat for the most part (aside from the lack of a fuel pump and float level).
Given that even with the vacuum pump in place, i'm still getting fuel out the overflow vent after it sits a couple days (garage is our smoking lounge, nothing like walking in there for a butt and smelling gas) top of the trans is wet with it from it dripping out. Float should actually have the level in the bowl down, i think the tech's right about the needle/seat.
Santa's coming early, going to do a scrapyard run to scrape up enough for the new carb and quit fueling around with this one.
