My guess is that you already have too much air in the form of a vacuum
leak. Get some aerosol carb cleaner (w/ a little tube) and squirt it
various places where the carbs attach to the intake manifold, and where
the manifold attaches to the head. Make sure the vacuum hoses are
secure. Same test. Let the engine idle while you do this. Depending
on what your are spraying, the engine will either speed up or slow down
when the stuff is ingested.

There is no problem that cannot be solved
with either a checkbook or high explosives.

Might it, by supplying nice fresh O2 to
