I bought a dominator e85 second hand that DaVinci carbs did 6 months ago. I was told it was a 1050. But my research says it'sa 1150. IIt stamped l_7320. 0546. 12r- 5053b . Is this a 1150 that was turned e85?

Maybe it was your old uncle Leonardo. He did a lot more than just carburetors. In fact, he could have held the first patent for a metering system with his irrigation water measuring methods, weirs, head gates, flumes, etc.
The man was ahead of his time. Here’s one of Leonardo’s drawings of an “irrigation and water distributing machine” which looks suspiciously like a carburetor.
Tuning a carburetor is a lot like irrigating a pasture. You raise or lower head gates (use larger or smaller jets) to adjust more or less water (fuel) to flow to whatever corner of the field (idle, transition, main) to grow the best crop (make the engine run best). So, in a sense, carburetor tuning is an evolution of one of the oldest art forms on the planet.
