I am not familiar with the Strombers but here is what I have learned from my Weber. The carburetor should have some holes in the side of the body that are uncovered when the throttle plate is opened slightly. These allow transsion from idle to the main jet. The flow through these holes is controlled by an idle jet. In my Weber I had to install a larger idle jet to get the proper response at low throttle settings. In my case the idle flow is also controlled by the idle jet so I had to screw the idle mixture in a bit after the larger jet was installed.

Step on the gas, for tomorrow I die. Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
