kinda have to agree to this theory or close to it. Years ago I had a
motor that I could not get to run right, always wanted to be lean at
idle. Problem I was having to open the throttle to far to get enuff
air in the motor to idle and uncovering the slots in the bottom of the
throttle bores. Solution drilled a small hole in each of the primary
butterflies so throttle could be closed down some. Problem solved.
