I have never been able to get a carb to hold a tune with a blown power valve. If you had a backfire, and are chasing an even idle, I have always found it was a blown valve. As others have said, it is a cheap part. There is also a way to put a "ball bearing" in as a check valve to keep the power valve from blowing out during backfires.
