Head Doctor, I can't do that test for you because I already have the carb. off ready to be shipped out for the 4 corner idle to be done. Should I also tell the guy to drill 3/32 holes in the butterflies while he has it or will the 4 corner idle negate the need to do that?
I don't remember, offhand, without looking but I "think" it is a 4779-2 model. I sort of recall it taking quit a few turns to get it to idle speed when I first hooked it up.

Will it hurt to have the butterflies drilled if it doesn't really need it, although, I don't think it would pass that test you just mentioned
I don't think 2 turns would be anywhere near enough to get it to idle clean, which, right now is about 1000rpms. I don't know if that's normal or not though(1000rpms to idle clean)
