Problem with Holley 4 bbl

I'm going to pull the carb again and go through it, each passage, etc. to make sure everything is as it should be. I have 15* initial advance (not a stock cam) and it seems to like that. I've been adjusting the idle speed via the secondary set screw instead of the primary as I've read on this forum. I did make a change to open them up a bit and I wonder if I went too far. It currently idles at 1000 and would like to get it down to 700-800. I don't know if that much opening would be too much or would have any affect on the primary idle metering circuit. I guess it could the same way it could if the primaries were open too far...pull fuel from the boosters.

Close the primary throttle blades some till you get the idle down to 600 or 700 rpm and see if the mixture screws start working. Squaring the transfer slot is a good starting point but not the spot were it has to be.
