Well, I bought a new used set of carbs for the GTX over the weekend for $60. Took them apart and they looked real clean inside, so I cleaned them with carb cleaner and blew everything out then reassembled them with the original parts. Only thing I had to replace was an o ring on one of the needle seats was leaking. Pop off was good about 37 psi on the MAG and 35 on the PTO. Adjusted the highs to 0 and lows to 1 turn out.
Took it out today and there was a noticeable improvement, although the 4 stroking in the midrange is still there, it is not nearly as bad and the idle is much smoother now. I think it still needs a bit of tweaking but I can tolerate the way it runs now.
I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of the midrange problem all together anyway, and I really did not want to spend $400 on new carbs. Today was the most enjoyable day out so far this year!
