10.2 : 1 compression 360 at sea level. Options?

I found an online PDF of tuning instructions for my 750 Mighty Demon from the manufacturer, not exactly the same as a Holley but similar enough. In those instructions it pointed out that unless the transition-slot opening is set correctly (throttle plate position), the accelerator pump squirts fuel AS SOON AS the throttle is touched, AND the idle mixture is sufficiently rich, it WILL produce an off-idle bog or flat-spot. Tried it myself, leaned out the idle mixture not even that much (it still idled smooth) and all of a sudden it was hiccuping every time I touched the gas off idle. I gradually richened it back up and miraculously the stumble was completely gone and throttle response was instantaneous.
Agree. Most folks with AFR gauges lean the idle to 14:1 and carb motors need to be rich at low rpm high load (coming off idle). Fully warmed up with airgap manifold my motor needs 12.5 at idle in gear to transition properly. Don't use the gauge to set idle mixture, give the motor what it needs to run properly.
