67 E-Type won't idle at all

I am having trouble getting my 67 E-Type to idle. It will start fine when the choke is in the full on position, As it warms I move the choke lever down and it still runs. When it’s up to temp I move the choke to “run” and it just stalls out. I have reset the slow run screws 2 1/2 turns out and have set the mixing screws also. I have replaced the spark plugs (the old ones were totally black which indicates that it was running incredibly rich). I have rebuilt HD8’s on my Healey and it runs great. What I am asking is there anything else I should do. If not I will pull the carbs and rebuild them.

Thanks ahead of time for any advice.
