Carb setup Solex 4A1, 280C

I went ahead and spent the money for a rebuild kit and did an overhaul. It was warped pretty bad, but I was able to straighten it. The car actually drives very nicely now. But I am sure I don't have it setup properly. Is there a setup guide anywhere?

Issues:

1. I set the idle to be correct in Drive. But when I shift to P or N it is too high.

2. The detent that prevents the secondaries from opening stays on too long. It's as if the counterweight is too light. I did rotate the choke clockwise to reduce the spring tension but now it's on the lean side of the marker. It also seems like the carb won't release the detent until it is fully warm. i am strictly 2 BBL when cold.

3. accelerator pump. when I accelerate it bogs, then when I let up a little on the gas, I get a nice boost of power.

those are the main issues.

Thanks!
