Are you saying you cannot adjust the idle speed[s] and mixture screw[s] to 
allow it to idle in NEUTRAL?  or just when in drive?

Are you saying no one in your chapter has any spare carbs?

Are you saying  you haven't put your hand over each carb as soon as you let 
it idle to find out which one kills the engine immediately [ the one it's 
probably runing on during idle ]?

Are you saying that you haven't LOOKED into the bores as you hold the 
crossshaft in the WOT position [ to see if BOTH plates are verticle and thus the 
carbs are synched / balanced, fairly close ]?

Are you saying that you haven't left a timinglight, dwell meter  hooked up at 
idle to see if anything changes [ timing retards as speed decays ]?

Something BIG  is missing.....and it isn't Katrina!  gggg    We all remember 
Joe West and his 140 that wouldn't idle / run.........finally LOOKED into the 
bores of his 140 and found a MELTED carb!   gggg
