jeting issue

[baja92]

I have a 1993 360 husky with a delorto carb. It was running to rich with a 195 main jet and a 34 pilot i changed the main jet to a 185 and did not notice any difference now i have just moved the clip up 1 grove ( i know this will weaken the mixture) on the needle and is running perfect. my question is what part of the mixing does the needle jet control, can i go smaller again on the main jet and move the clip back to a central position on the needle.

The needle controls mid throttle openings.

When you moved the clip up did this raise or lower the needle?

When you move the clip up it lowers the needle.
