First off, why didn't you do both carbs at the same time since you 
apparently saw the same problem in both of them?  And then I feel that it's 
always better and easier to do those things on the workbench cuz if you drop 
a part, it doesn't fall into the engine.  Also, it's a good time to check 
everything else on them and if you had done that, I'll bet that you wouldn't 
be having your present problems.
