    I could be the springs on the metering rods. They might be lifting the rod out of the jet at idle. Really rich and gassy. Also if you can turn the idle screws in and out with no effect,your throttle plates are not adjusted right or metering rods again. Aren't edlebrocks wonderful
    If it's not broke, fix it anyway.

    You can download a PDF file of the users manual for Edelbrock carbs at their site. www.edelbrock.com
    I'm having the same problem with mine. I'm leaning toward the metering rods and jets. I put the elec. choke kit on my manual choke carb and I think I need to change the jets and rods also.
