sounds to me like it may be a vacuum leak. raise the rpm just to get it to idle so that you can find where the leak is by spraying some carb cleaner.

Doesn't the shutter valve control the rpm's when they come down? I had a similar problem & thought it was a vaccuum leak. Couldn't find a vaccuum leak.. replaced the shutter valve & fixed the problem.

Good tip. I'll bet that's not in the Weber manual.

Would a Weber setup even still have a shutter valve?

Wouldn't it have gone away with the manifold swap?
