Yeah, this may be the case. It's not like the little thing isn't getting 
enough fuel and economy is already pretty good (26 mpg highway/22 
combined).

I don't hate carbs. I've come to realize carbs are totally fine when you 
only ask them to do simple tasks, like on the 195.6. No fancy 
multi-staging, no progressive linkages, no smog compensation, maybe an 
automatic choke. And you stay on top of it. Then they're fine.

ALl the carbs I had trouble with, ever, were the later jobs with all the 
finicky smog stuff or performance carbs that need tons of tweaking. (Not 
because they are not good; but because you are trying to make them work 
over a much wider range of values.)

I don't even think the Howell kit will get me better mileage than a 
well-tweaked 1 bbl Carter YF. But it'll be more like a perfectly tweaked 
Performer carb that I never have to change power valves on, turn screws 
on, and it will work at altitude too.
