>The DPO of my 3A told me the carbs were rebuilt by a
place in AZ a shortly before I bought the car.  
Once the car is warm sometimes it idles at an
indicated 1000 rpm sometime about 800 sometimes about
600.
Could it just be that the idle goes lower when the
generator is working hard?
Where do I start looking for the problem?

No but the throttle shafts may have too much play in them.  This usually is
the cause of this symptom.
