Setting up the new carb--pointers?

Cliff--

Haven't installed yet.  Did I ruin it by filling the holes with epoxy?

Cliff Ruggles:
Wouldn't matter what was used to plug the holes, as long as it stays put.....Cliff

F250 Restorer:
Runs great, just a little hesitation when the secondaries open.  What do you think?

Cliff Ruggles:
Secondary transition is fully adjustable using the adjustment spring.  Make sure the link from the pull-off is holding the airflaps tightly closed at idle (high vacuum)......Cliff

F250 Restorer:
Since I filled the idle air bypass holes the idle is good, but it acts like a v.leak, surging on the v.guage and rpm's, mostly at 16 on guage, then up to 17, and quickly drops to 14 for a second, then up to 16 again.  (At idle with the Edelbrock on I read 19 on the v.guage.)

I've sprayed around base with s.fluid and there doesn't seem to be leak. I also sealed up choke housing good. I can, and I don't know if this is normal, see fuel dribbling out the p. boosters.

Cliff, do you have any ideas? Thank you.
