By adding tape around the carburetors air inlet, where I have the foam filter, and reducing the area, size of the opening, thus reducing the volume of air entering into the carburetor, is that what you are saying. The idle /air/mixture screw seems to have little effect the way I have the thing now and as I understand it, that is the only adj. the carb. has and it is only effective while the idle, pilot, jet is in use.

So, if I narrow the carburetors opening, air inlet, restricting the amount, volume, of air coming into the carb. the idle should perform, better, properly? If I understand what you suggest correctly, would, will, the addition of the air filter box have the same effect as narrowing the carbs. air intake diameter; reducing the amount of air entering the carb. and causing the fuel air mixture to become richer.
