Answer
Hi John,

You know what you need to get. lol... It's all in there.

I have no idea what you're trying to tune. There's no information describing the problems with the RM.

Remove the throttle slide and raise of lower the "Jet Needle" to adjust rich or lean accordingly. Raising the needle richens the mix.
