If I'm reading this right, your idle screws used be set around 1 1/2  turns and after opening the carb a few times, now they bottom out? I would go back and double/triple check that you have the right metering block gaskets and pay particular attention to the hole above the power valve which transfers the accelerator pump shot. I have seen the wrong gasket used which allows fuel to leak down through the body where the power valve receives its vacuum signal. There should also be a small ridge around that hole on the metering block and/or main body that helps to seal up that passage. Sometimes that ridge gets damaged from scraping off old gaskets.

I picked up a complete setup in a parts trade about 30 years ago. The body says Competition Plus. I tried sending you a PM but it won't go through.
