Something else to consider is that the idle jets themselves may not be plugged--but instead the passage after the jet can be--
Sounds like the transition holes are plugged--those are the really, really tiny ones just above the throttle plate---the large passage transitions into many small ones--4-5 depending on carb--you have to get some really fine, yet strong wire to shove into the holes one by one and then shoot carb spray into them so it shoots out of the jet orifice--i.e.--you HAVE to dismantle the carbs--
To do it any other way that crud u got loose will just get trapped again in those little holes again--
This sounds like your whole problem now--obviously your mains are flowing--it is your idle circuit that is clogged--those transition holes are fed from the idle circuit--They give that extra boost of fuel just before the main jet comes on line-up until 1/5 throttle opening--and they continue to feed the engine until you reach 1/2-2/3 throttle opening, at which time the vacuum signature falls off and only the mains flow--
I may not be a whiz at jetting a weber out--but for this operation I am a master--done it too many times until I started running 5 micron fuel filters

Hope you get it figured out soon!
