Hi.
  Thanks for the replies.
   I have not tried an carb cleaner or starting fluid or anything like that
yet.  I thought I'd try to get a seal one more time.  The butterflies are
closed and the carbs are close to balanced. The intake flanges have been
machined flat however the gasket is probably a VB junk gasket. After
disassembly I see that the gaskets seal surfaces are not attached to the
head or the manifold from heat and crush like they normally are. Not hot
enough or not tight enough?
                     Pat

Closed on a weber means the idle speed screw is out enough so all progressio=
n holes are not covered by the butterfly. No response from the idle mix scre=
w usually means the idle speed screw is in too far. Start it from barely tou=
ching plus 1/2 turn in. Cover no progression holes.
