Glad it's running at WOT now, but you really want to be able to make idle mixture adjustments. It's part of tuning.

That means pulling the caps when the carbs are off. There are o-rings on the screws that can fracture and get lodged in the passages, and the passages can become partially plugged. Doing that is all part of "carb cleaning". Syncing the carbs when you are finished (syncing them on the bench also - which should be close unless there is a problem somewhere) is the last part.

That's why I said "carb cleaning" means different things to different people.
