I have continued to work on the needle only to come to the conclusion
that I don't think I am going to be able to get the carb tuned without
relocating it. Here are the details:

Mark,
Try the fuel pressure regulator from Auto Zone. The builder of
a Zenith 601 using a Harley engine used one and was able to
get his fuel pressure set to 1 1/2 pounds on the dial to keep
from flooding his carb which I suspect is similar to yours.
The data sheet claims it shuts off when th

One is to install a small header fed from my wing tanks or sell the Aerocarb
and get another carb.
Your other choice is "both of the above."

I fought the Carb thing on my first KR, I know, you probably get sick of
hearing about my first KR, but that is where I learned what works and a
whole lot about what doesn't. I know that it is expensive, but when I put
on the Ellison and a Facet, no more problems. Plug and Chug.
Mark, You really
You are giving all of us Heart Palpitations... Whew.. Tooo close for comfort.

This combination simply will not work. I installed a Holley pressure regulator

Actually, in a gravity flow situation, I have had no problems running my
engine. Besides, the Aerocarb is a gravity flow carb. I was trying to run
without gravity (under pressure). I have held the tail to the ground, which
is a fairly high pitch and she ran fine.
