 Hi Neil, thats my suspicion- I wish I had measured things when I had the
engine out.
Is there any way to tell without stripping things down and measuring?

I will give that a go today and over the next week or so I should get a
better idea if its helping. Should I change the air correction jets too to
make a matched pairing?
I reckon if I could lean up the idle without leaning up the main jetting,
that would surely improve the consumption.
