so ur already ahead of the game.

pump shots look ok?

no binding linkage?

throttle plates securely tightened?

i like to safely measure fuel flow rate using long fuel hose and measuring cup.

i like to measure fuel press and log vac at different rpms.

feul pressure is good. Im sure that adjusting my gas pedal changed the idle. both butterflies are probably completely shut not letting any air in the carb. Im sure if I adjust the idle screw I can figure it out.

As for right now Im on my third margarita and my wife just walked into the garage wearing...well not much LOL

try spraying carb cleaner around the base of the carb and see if that changes rpm.

Check the plug wires.

Check to make sure the carb isnt flooding
