1500 single port will not idle when warm. tried other carbs already and don't believe I have air leaks at the manifolds. I am stumped! any suggestions??

try loosening the idle jet -just a teense !- and see if it doesn't rev up and then die - if it does the jet or idle circut is plugged and needs cleaning .

Good deal ! now don't forget to change the fuel filter and watch it carefully - it may turn brown quickly even if you don't see any crud or dirt in it - change immediately if it does .I'd also take a look inthe carby bowl , probably some fine rust sediment in there just waiting for a bumpy road or railroad tracks to stir it up & re-plug that idle jet - don't touch any adjustments , just take the top off and main jet out , flush the crap out re-assemble and off you go .
