A couple of tips here from a long time Rekluse user (on both 2 and 4t's).
-a little drag in gear is good. It keeps the clutch from free wheeling. Guarantees you engine braking at every chop of the throttle.
-a little drag also gives a smoother and more predictable engagement. Too much slip just off idle allows it to rev then grab. Like popping a manual clutch. Very noticeable when it gets technical.
-you can avoid engine stalling due to the drag at idle by increasing the idle RPM. This has a desirable side effect of making the jetting at and just off idle less critical. Maybe one reason I haven't had any if the issues with my Smart Carb that others have.

Good luck with the experimentation!
