<VV> idle question 2

[Matt Nall]

     Well, tonight I had to move the car across the driveway.  The engine was 
stone cold not having been run in a week.  Imagine my surprise when I started it 
(carbs with 
51 jets and the chokes closed) the CAR IDLED PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Smooth as 
silk.  Then, as it warmed up and the chokes opened, back to the same crap.  
Probably the same thing that happened with the other (50 jet) carbs 
My second question is this:  This sure does point to the jets being too small, 
right?  Sounds logical to me.  I thought about putting in #53's.  I saw 
something in the 
Clark's catalogue about using jets a size bigger because of today's crappy gas.  
I only want to do this job once, so any and all thoughts and opinions welcome. 
Thanx.

Randy!!  Mainjets have nothing to do with idle / off idle


Do you have TWO  good streams of fuel when you snap the throttle open from each carb? [accelerator pumps ]


Also,  have you disconnected the down link on the passenger carb and then snap opened ONE carb at a time?  It may be only one carb...
