Dual Dells

Hi, question, I have been helping a friend build his engine, It's a1835. We're installing Dells40s.
Got it running but stumbles big time.
Valve Clarence are set intake.006 cold, exhaust.008. The manual calls for.006 on both. I forget the jetting sizes.but I believe if memory serves me correctly it's close to by the book.
The fuel pressure is supposed to be 3-5lbs, checked it, it was 5lbs.
While running the mains dripped, not spray but dripped.
I believe that's the reason that it runs very bad/misses is due to the droplets of gas.
I can't get it to run at low idle, to adjust the idle air/fuel settings.
I set the centrifugal advance to 25 degrees at 2800 rpms.
I went for the centrifugal settings due to low idle was impossible.
I checked the float settings,it was 20/32nd, the book calls for 14.5mm, which is close, this would not cause a dripping main discharge, any suggestions?
