Ken,
I don't remember seeing anything posted about checking for air leaks with
something like carb. cleaner, WD-40, etc. Spray some of this stuff around
the sides of the carb., if the idle changes, then you've found your problem.
Then try around the carb to manifold, and then the manifold to block.
Hope this helps.
