Default s+s carb spray pattern

hello there riders! hope everyone is doin good. got a question about the spray pattern in my super e carb. seems to be spraying into the rear cylinder more so than the front, and ive taken the carb apart to see if there was trash in the system. put it back together and the same results. anyone else know somethin i don't. is there some way to adjust the ejector nozzle on the thing? i have also seen somethin in j+p " yost power tube" but that might be as good as snake oil too. thanks in advance for the advice and keep on ridin cause summer is leaving soon.

Can I ask what makes you think that it is spraying heavier into the rear cylinder? Did you measure this in some way?

Nozzle moves just re postion it to spray more evenly. But if you do not have a problem I would leave it alone.

the way that i found out is when i pulled the plugs, the rear cylinder plug was blacker than the front. i pulled the air cleaner off, looked down the carb throat and pulled on the throttle. voila! there was a big azz stream of gas shootin right down into the rear cylinder intake, way far more than was going to the front. that is why i asked if there was any way to adjust the nozzle. just by instinct by lookin at the plugs, showing me something was amiss in the rear cylinder.
