Ron-
It has absolutely nothing to do with the accelerator pump. I think you are mistaking the squirters for the boosters. The squirters are where the fuel from the accelerator pump squirts out, and the boosters are the round items in the center of each barrel, and is where the fuel is drawn from the bowl.

GP001-
Could be a number of things:
1. Turn the idle speed down and see
if the dripping stops (1100-1200 rpm
is just starting on mainjet circuits.)
2. Idle mixture too rich; start at 1 1/2
turns out on mixture screws; warm engine,
turn idle speed down as LOW as the engine
will maintain, adjust screws (do 2 round
trips) to get highest rpm; add additional
1/8 turn out; reset idle speed to desired
rpm; shut off engine and check that both
screws are the same. If not, set both to
the average of the two. Restart engine
to check idle quality.
3. Bad power valve or leaking gasket (chk
P.V. gasket 1st, metering block gasket
2nd.)

Actually sounds like two problems: too high
of an idle speed (drips) and too rich (P.V.,
gasket, mixture adjustment) causing stalling.

Take care,
-Chris
