[T3] Dying at idle

[Steven Ayres <comwest@well.com>]

Dual-carb folks: I'm running 32PDSITs, and they're doing really well 
except for one odd thing. When the motor is warm-to-hot, sometimes it 
will die when idling at a light, for instance, or will be very sluggish 
on takeoff. It feels like fuel starvation, as if sitting there idling 
the fuel is evaporating from the carbs. In this situation I often have 
to pump the accelerator to get up enough rpm to launch. 

I run the stock oil bath air cleaner, and the intake air seals are all 
good. 

I'm wondering whether I've got the wrong mixture adjustment. How do you 
go about setting the mixture?
