Why are you screwing with the metering rod(s) at idle?
because it wouldn't stay running at all unless I kept my foot on the gas.
It might be flooding over the top and dripping fuel into the throats? Doe it make a frying spitting sound when idling?

yes it did that's why I rebuilt the carb. yes it makes that sound still but very little now that carb was rebuilt and idle rods lifted.
