You don't need to be constantly fiddling with a 3 X 2 setup. Set it up correctly
I have a 59 tri-power set up (progressive linkage) on my rebuilt 1961 348. when I bought the set up, it had new shafts (with seals) and new plates installed. I went through problems of high idle, flooding, stalling, etc. When I tore down the carbs, all the gaskets had shrunk and was leaking air/fuel from all areas. The bases were warped from over-tightening.
I had the bases "decked" and then added a 1/2" phenolic blocks under the carbs. I inspected the shafts and plates and found they were leaking air, big time. I tried to reseat the plates to shut the air out of 1 and 3 carbs--no change. I removed all the plates and fitted each plates to the best-fit throat. I then smoothed the throats with 1000 grit sand paper. If you just loosens the plates and close the throttle, the plates will not necessarily center and shut off the air. The plates also need to be rotated a bit, as well as slid up against the throat with a bit of pressure on the shaft, at the same time.
With a quality kit(s) installed and the linkage adjusted correctly, my engine will idle at 400 RPMs before it stumbles. Even with a mild cam and 10:1 pistons it will idle smoothly at 650. The engine is very strong and gives me no problems. Mileage is very good.
Use quality overhaul kits, center and rotate the plates, set up the progressive linkage so that at idle they are closed completely (shine a light in the throat), use mild but not excessive spring pressure on 1 and 3. You will not need any more that 4 1/2 to 5 lbs of fuel pressure. Much more than that, the pressure will override the needle and seat and cause the carbs to flood. I run 4 1/2 lbs, but the engine will not starve for fuel at 3 lbs at WOT. Also, adjust the float drop about 1/16" higher than called for. This helps prevent the needle from trying to **** sideways and stick partially open. Some cheap kits have shorter needles that do not seat correctly.
