Hi Kurt,
I have gotten a lot of tricarb tune advice myself recently, but if it were me,
I 'd check the idle screw on that carb, and check the throttle linkage to that
carb. It sounds to me like for some reason the butterfly is being held open
slightly.
Also, just for kicks check that the jet for the carb is returning fully to the
up position when the chokes are released.

Help, I have a 62 bt7 tri-carb. All carbs rebuilt, jets centered several
times and function fine with engine off, when started center carb
cylinder rises up about 1/16-1/8 and idles poorly, if I manually push
cylinder down the car idles quite nicely at about 650, as soon as I let
go it rises again, any thoughts on this, possibly a vacuum leak problem?
