Where should i be idling???

Not positive but somewhere in the 1300 rpm range is common.

You also need to seal your airbox with self-adhesive foam weatherstripping and very likely replace the boots between the airbox and the carbs.

I have found partially clogged pilot jets to be the most common cause. Dip alone will often not remove all the crud. Use a bundle of soft copper wires to clean the big end of the jet, then flip it over and use a few crinkled strands to clean the precision end. Work those strands in and out until there is no resistance. Resistance is futile!

I tried adjusting the pilot screws. No change in hanging idle problem. I tried from 1.5 to 3.5 turns out from lightly seated in quarter turn increments. (all carbs equally at the same time.) but it still hangs at 2.5 after a revv. to make it richer would the screws need to go in or come out??

Yes, out is richer.

Sorry for the problem. A lean condition will cause the problem as noted so I don't know what to suggest now other than checking carb sync as detailed before and maybe check to see if your ignition advance turns freely and isn't sticking - grab the rotor and give is a slight twist, it should move about 10 degrees or so and then snap back once you release it.
