Exactly why I have been suggesting carburetors with MECHANICAL power circuits (like the Carter W-1) for decades.

From the article referenced in the link a few posts above:

"The second criteria for selecting carburetors is that the EASIEST AND LEAST EXPENSIVE good results will be obtained by selecting either (A) carburetors which were originally designed for used in a multicarb environment (example: Carter WA-1’s used on the Twin-H Hudson) or (B) carburetors with a mechanical (as opposed to vacuum) power system. Carburetors with a vacuum power system may be used, but the tuning MAY be more difficult. If you have a spring winding kit and feel comfortable hand winding small precision springs, you may ignore this paragraph."

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
