Without ARF - how much burning? I didn't know your eyes were set to detect a variance of .5 AFR? 

Shane - regardless AFR is what is needed to get to the correct solution. Everything else is just guessing as is pulling plugs and staring at them. 

My nose is my AFR meter for idling. If your eyes are burning at idle. It's to rich!
A person can get close without one using known combinations. AFR meter will tell you if your running rich at idle but won't tell you how to solve it. I simply listed ways to check for possible problems and the resolution. AFR meter would really be beneficial for primary and secondary main jets.

By the way if you look at plugs with your naked eye it's a waste of time. A hand held microscope is needed. But that's for another thread. This one is for rich idling condition.

I'm only passing on what a Holley tech told me - if you want to play the game = batter up!

Holley says explicitly not to put wires down the idle or high speed bleeds as they could cause damage.

It's been done as long as guys have been tweaking carbs..... I've never seen any harm.... You use wires to learn, after you know where your going you replace parts.....
