Rusty: Take the top off a QJ and half fill the fuel bowl and no fuel will run out. It needs passing air to pull the fuel up and out. The secondary rods should have no effect on idle, unless the back blades are not fitting the base plate. Everett: Don't know your combo and yes 1544 degrees sounds lean, but if you have a low compression pkg. it may not be. My EGT probes are close to the flange and mid 1500's are common for me.
