clone carb jetting, idle

Thats all I'm missing is the dyno and that precious TIME! Thats where the power is found, hours of trial and ideas and the dyno to prove what works and what doesn't. My motors do pretty well locally but I'd like to be able to offer more.
 
Tried a carb from a new builder last night. It made ok power but wouldn’t idle. Went from a .026 to .020 and idled better and picked up a small amount of torque in the 3800 to 4500 range with no lose in hp up top. I have only ran a couple of carbs from other people but this common.Dover carbs show the best power out of the box so I never change the idle jet.
 
I was just wondering; was this carburetor previously run on a, maybe stock appearing or open? Something with much higher compression pressure, maybe Wilder cam?
