Inconsistent idling problem

Well I don't know where I was when you were going through that, but you also know how often a suggestion falls on deaf ears, or gets lost in a sea of suggestions.

I figured vacuum leak, and that was mentioned. The last post I ran was titled "Symptoms of an intake leak?" ,and I got no real input. I never thought of the carb leaking other than an unplugged port.
