This quote was taken off the site you suggested. And I do know about the transition slots. If you have the throttle plates open to far at idle you bypass the circuit. If you know how the carb works, you know why your making the adjustment.
Denny, I'm sorry that I'm not very good at explaining things on a key board. My main point was Lean Drop Method of adjusting idle and position of the throttle plate vs yours using the vaccum guage. Both will work. Next time I'm playing, my old car, I'll try your way.
Geez look what I started! :D Great article, thanks for that link. I have to read it a couple more times to make sure I got it right. Im not exactly a carb expert, but consider myself a quick learner. Im pretty sure the problem was my carb running lean as some of you mentioned. I have to spend some quality time tinkering with it. I'll be up bright and early tomorrow, before the wife makes me do stuff around the house :eek: Ill let you all know how it goes.
Thanks again for the great replies...this forum is awesome.
