You shouldn't need smaller than stock jets. The technique chizler describes really doesn't work that well on the BS34s, they're too E.P.A. strangled. Your mix screws would react the same with pretty much any size pilot. The factory set these using an exhaust gas analyzer. With one of those, you could see differences in small screw setting changes. You won't hear them though, and as you found out, the idle doesn't stumble or change until the screw is nearly closed, or really far open (4 to 5 turns).
