Sounds like you have an off idle lean stumble. Adjust the carb, and possibly change out your squirter to a 1-2 size larger one. That should cure the issue.

was much worse earlier, went larger from 25 to 28 squirter and almost completely gone. could a 30 be too large for this, or should I try it and see

thanks

Sounds like a bigger issue. Check your manifold vacuum, might be a leak.

yes and no changes and now reset back to spec.
like I say it's a very minimal. maybe I am just too picky.

4053 stumble off idle is a common problem, I found this out in 1973 right after the X77 came home. Increasing  the squirter size usually helps, you can also change the pump cam and/or go to a 50cc accelerator pump. Tailoring the rate and volume of the accelerator pump shot is the best cure, make sure your distributor is in good shape and timing is in spec for initial and total advance.
