I suggest you get a regular carb with a venturi that actually atomizes the fuel. There is no happy medium with either a Aero-Carb or a RevFlo. I have run both on my aircraft with the same results as you describe. Constantly adjusting is just part of the game with these types of carb.
PS , a Cyclone Fuel Saver type of device installed in the intake manifold does help atomize the fuel better and get egt readings a lot closer than running without one...
