Would suggest what others have, back to square one. Square one on a tripower with issues is to remove the two outer carbs, install block-off plates, and tune the center carb ONLY. Tuning is basically eliminating unknowns. And the two ends do nothing positive at idle, so they are unknowns.
Once the calibration is correct on the center, reintroduce the ends to the system, one at a time. An end carb without issues should NOT change the calibration of the center carb at idle.
And remember......95 percent of ALL carburetor issues are ignition!

Thanks for the response, Jon! All points will be well taken. Once I get finished with the install of the wideband gauge the real tuning will begin. I hope you'll stick around for that. I'm sure I'll have other questions.
BTW, do you still have those kits with the different power valve springs? I may be contacting you soon.
Thanks!
