As far as the idle speed, it's obviously pulling air from somewhere. If you can richen the idle and live with the butterflies closed for now that'd be my suggestion, at least until you can re-do the shafts, etc.

I noticed that its ideling fine at ~12.5AFR but I can smell it too. I have not made big investements in a one of the best EFIs on the market to live with it

I do believe that even if I get the shafts ok it will not be 100%. When I open the throttle with the idle screw its to unsensitive.
Im considering creating a adjustable pass thru channel bypassing the throttle plate (like on some production cars).
