Removing thickness above the clip raises the needle, anything done below the clip does nothing.
So removing the thick spacer from above the clip and putting something thinner in it's place is what you want.

In-friggin-credible! If you could see me now you'd watch as I repeatedly make contact with my forehead using the palm of my hand. Also, for anyone monitoring this thread..I sure hope all is forgotten by next yr's RRV Rally.
No wonder I haven't been seeing any difference by changing the thickness of the shims under the clip.
Okay, now I'll try what you suggested and put the nylon spacer under the clip and replace it with a .020 washer. I'll report back after I do this tomorrow AM. Any suggestions on where to set the screw relative to factory?

I took gearheads advice and replaced the nylon spacer above the clip with a .025 washer. I left the spacers out entirely. Then, I took TCKs advice and adjusted the pilot air screw till I had the highest idle. Odlly, that worked out to 1 1/4 turns out. OEM is 1 3/4 out. Off idle performance is VERY nice but I still have that friggin bucking (surging?) at low-no load.
Just for the heck of it, I took my GK for a ride and noticed it on that too, although it appears to be slightly less pronounced, if that makes any sense. I've come to believe that the annoyance I'm experiencing is pretty much normal. Sure runs great in every other regard though.
Thanks alot for everyone's help.
