I'm in the same boat with my 99 350 Wolverine. My notes say if it's a slight problem, lower the needle down. If it's a severe problem, lower needle, and install smaller jet. I'm in the middle of fixing mine right now. I will hit you back with my findings.
Sorry Bro, went to reinstall my carb, and I broke my intake. It's on order now, and when I test I'll hit ya back up, and let you know what happened.
