If the levers are seated and the carbs are closed, but you can't change the
RPM's for the idle by adjusting the carbs (except by adjusting the jets
below the carbs), it would indicate that the engine is getting the air that
should be coming through the carbs from someplace else. I would look for
an intake leak either in the intake manifold gaskets or in a vacuum line
someplace. A leak in either would mess up your base line idle.
