Could not answer any of these question right now. I only had it apart long enough to replace the needle/seat and float. Set the float up best I could based on resources I found online. Is there a good resource on looking at what I have and determining what's in it? I'd be happy to take it apart and measure everything just so I could have a baseline starting point. I just worry about taking it apart so far I can't put it back together. Granted, I suppose that's about the only way to learn how.

What is a "fast" throttle plate? Also have not messed with the air flap but I know that it does open at WOT, just not sure how much or how fast.
