<VV> Rough idle

[J R Read_HML]

Stephen,

Have the two short rubber hoses in the main fuel line been replaced?  This 
can be a source for junk in the carbs.  You need hoses that can stand up to 
today's gas formulations.  Another source can be the accelerator pump cups 
(also rubber), but since these are new carbs, that would seem less likely in 
your case.

The comments above assume that the gas tank has been cleaned and resealed - 
or replaced with new.
