I had my Holley 780 rebuilt a few months ago and I've noticed the car has developed somewhat of a bog, or stumble off idle as I'm letting out the clutch. After a second or two, the engine catches and the revs go up.

Any idea what might be causing this? Carb idle mixture screws or accelerator pump?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Appears to be an accelerator pump adjustment required. It only happens when coming off idle slowly to pull away from a standing stop. No problems whatsoever with WOT or aggressive acceleration. The only problem incurred then is keeping the rear tires from going up in smoke
