I did the best mod of 2012. Worked on car today went to get a wrench Phone rang. Went picked up phone while doing that my craftsman top and bottom box opened all 16 drawers sumhow falling over on to my 2 week old fresh paint. NOW TOP THAT!!! Lucky for me its a cheap paint job and get fixed easy.
Tried all freaking day to tune the stumble out of my Edelbrock carb. Really, here is the crappy part I went from the smallest/lean jets & rods to the biggest/rich jets & rods with no real change(with two Edelbrock tuning kits and extra jets!!!!). Tried two different HEI distributors, new plugs, new wires, all the different advance weight springs. Going from part throttle cruise in to power in a roll, nice and smooth...it stumbles!!?! Once the secondaries come in it clears up.
I didn't just go full tilt, I started with base line for electric choke (lean) and tried each set of rods with each jet, ordered the tuning kit for the manual choke (rich/power) and did the same. The accelerator pump shot adjustment does not help because its a roll on, like normal driving. I also tried all the springs, but, those do not seem to make any difference, it has plenty of vacuum, like I hooked up a gauge and drove it to help tune/diagnose the stumble, the lowest number I get is at or above the strongest spring, 8 inches. Its a brand new motor, Buick 350 with small, like smaller than 260* camshaft.
Am I the only one, or does everyone just live with it!!?!

I had an Edelbrock carb do the same thing to me. I could adjust the idle mixture screws all the way in or out. At one point I even removed them completely and it had NO effect at all on the engine. Sold that carb and will NEVER buy another one. BTW, it was brand new out of the box. I'm guessing it had a plugged internal passage but wasn't going to mess with it any more. Good luck!
I had the same problem with mines,went with a 2500 stall converter and the problem went away havent had to adjust it since
I have an off idle stumble with mine too, but mine is from a junkyard and it's over 10 years old. I have a rebuild kit and plan on getting a tuning (along with electric choke) kit for it.
The new engine is all together, made an appointment to dyno it and dialed in the scatter shield today
