1987 318 Tuning with Summit Carb

Is it hanging up on the choke fast idle cam?

If you messed with opening up the secondaries via set screw, take that back out. Can't kill it taking out all the primary idle speed screw, something is making a mess of this thing.

If you have the throttle cable hooked up, disconnect it.
I just checked. No fast idle cam interference. Cable removed, same thing

I popped the carb off and going against the directions, closed the secondary all the way. The directions say to close the screw until the butterflies are closed, then add 1/4 turn. I started the engine, now it needs the speed screw to run. But the idle mix screws can be shut and it will still run off just 1/4 of a turn on the speed screw at 750 RPM.

Looking at this pic, with the screw all the way out I feel like this is way too much transfer slot showing. I just looked at my Eddy, with the idle screw out you can't see the transfer slot in the primary at all. I wonder if this is normal. I can't see any adjustment or way to fix it. Anyone with a Holley, is it normal for Holley's to show some transfer slot when the speed screw is out??

As the beer flows through my system, I'm starting to think it's running off the transfer slot and not the idle circuit.
