70% static then fluctuating around 50%

You don't sound lost!

You just sound a little rich.

You should see 70% duty cycle ignition on, engine off.

Try to adjust the duty cycle from where you are (average of, say, 38%) to a value that fluctuates around 50%. I have done almost exactly this (average around 56%) and the car's running very well with reasonable consumption and nice clean spark plugs.

If you have a Duty Cycle meter, don't concern yourself with voltages.

And finally, yes, less is richer so I am suggesting you make the mixture leaner.
