If it idles fine, then it is not far from 100%

Does air metering flap move smoothly? If not, simply take the distribution head off & soak it in gasoline. I would not take it apart.

Don't touch the settings on the CPR either.

I had K-Jet for many years & it worked fine EXCEPT
1: one time it would do nothing but idle & I had to reach in through the air cleaner & lift the flap, it seemed locked, was possibly just some gum or varnish from petrol.
2: Had vapour lock once on a hot day with a low tank of juice. Just filled it up with juice & that was that.

My K-Jet was fitted to a 71 model car, 2130cc, 11.5:1 compression, K cam & big exhaust.
