Do I know the feeling! One possibility is low compression. Recently, my engine with a 34PICT-3 wouldn't idle. Compression values were way below 100. Check yours. If it's in the normal range of 125 or so, then check for vacuum leaks. If none, then take the carb apart and soak it in carb cleaner. Finally, I have a bunch of 34PICT-3 carbs in my stash that simply won't idle. jhd
