Thanks for your help, (jokes and all), Doug.
Don't mess with the intake manifold. Just take the carb off, open it up, spray carb cleaner through all the passages, shake the excess cleaner out, put it back together and reinstall. Test drive.

The plugged idle passage is in the carb, if that's the problem, not in the intake manifold.
