Weber 40 IDF help, My usual guy had back surgery and can't help now Options

Hi everyone,
My 75 is ready to drive again. I fixed the oil leak from the main seal a couple of weeks ago and all is good.
As I continue to do the shake out of the car, since I'm on the tail end of the restoration, I've had one problem the entire time and I need to get it fixed now.
Cold or hot, as I'm driving there's a flat spot when I shift between gears. It bogs and then picks up again.
It's particularly noticeable from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Sometimes even when starting for a dead stop.
I know NOTHING about carbs but I'm willing to jump in.
Does anyone have any experience with these symptoms? Is there a write up on the world that I've missed?
Would anyone be willing to work for high end craft beer and good pizza (along with an hourly rate) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm in north county inland San Diego (Valley Center)

You are most likely lean on the idle jets , check the size and IDF guys will step in cause I work on Dellorto's mainly but principles are similar .
In the rev range you are talking about it will be pre transition to mains I would think.
Supply some more details and you will be better off in the long run ,cheers.

I'm not sure what's in there right now but I did purchase a bunch of idle jets from size .40 up to .65 so I could test that.
I also bought a jet gauge and some jet reamers as well.
I'm running the tangerine racing cable linkage and the engine started life as a 1.8 but is now a 1911 with a mild custom Schneider cam in it.
let me know if there's any other info I can supply that might be useful
