boost ref power valve?
rich at idle or all the time?

If its that rich at idle it has nothing to do with the jets.

yea the idle is on a different circuit than the main jetting...i'm assuming thats the problem since you said you're burning out your eyes and main jets only come into play when you're driving.

you got a wb gauge? If you do take your idle mixture screws and adjust them until you get to ~13:1 afr. Now turn in one screw and count how many turns you get. If its between 1 and 2 you're in the ball park. If its over 2 turns your idle circuit is on the lean side, if its 1 turn or below your idle circuit is on the rich side. The two ways to adjust this is your idle feed restrictors or your idle air bleeds
