Smoking gun found in the carb?

 Pierce had the carburetor for a while now. Everything seemed normal on the flow bench. After a lot of back and forth, they finally did find something.

"In my 41 years of servicing Webers, I've never seen this problem."

Apparently there were 2 missing passage plugs which prevented a vacuum being drawn in the idle circuit. When he "back fed" the idle circuit, the problem became evident.

I remember I was consistently fouling a plug as well so maybe this has been an issue for a long time.
