Thanks for the post. I should have stated that all 6 throttle plates open together. I checked them with a feeler gauge at rest and with the idle screw turned in. All three plates per carb are the same.

The car does have 55 idle jets. I upped them from 52. The mains are 125. I would also like to add that while I was working on the adjustments, I pulled the air bleed adjustment screw completely out of number 6 cylinder and nothing happened. There was no change in the idle, no vacuum leak nothing seemed to happen. I am new to webers but my gut tells me this is not right. I believe that the carb is obstructed in some way. I ordered the rebuild kits from Pelican yesterday so as soon as they show up I will rebuild the carbs. As for the accelerator pump I do think it is obstructed as well.

Since the car sat for a long time I am beginning to suspect dirt has made its' way into the carb.

Thanks again for the advice.
