One check is to spray some starting fluid (ether?) or carb cleaner around the flange(s) to see if it sucks in any fluid thru a leak and changes the engine speed.

Be careful spraying that stuff around a hot motor..I don't think it would be a real issue, but you don't want any spontaneous combustion if it hit a red hot part

edit - FR's got a great idea too..double check using the Moyer Manual that your settings are correct.
Unless you want an on-board fire with a gasoline engine throw the ether away - if the engine won't run properly then there is something wrong and all the ether in the world won't fix it.
