Besides the burble upside down, clunk I guess, how does the tuning sound now?
I still believe the high needle on climb out is fat

2 things,
Yep, still rich on the high AND it wasn't up to temp yet when you tried the loop. If you had tried one later, it probably would have been fine.
Not a clunk problem. These carbs with the pump system built in will EAT most bubbles, as those found when doing aerobatics. Obviously a LARGE bubble will kill the engine, but small ones do NOT affect it.

So Low needle looks good and turn the High a blade width at a time until i get a good power climb out after warmed
