The 2 screws on the bottom side were not so tight as well, the lower gasket is fairly thick , maybe 1/8"

I didn't run it today, the next few days are supposed to be warmer.

I took a pic of the primary, this is as closed as it goes, the transfer slots form squares ( or maybe slightly less than squares). The fast idle mechanism is fully out of the way.
Should they close more than that?
