You need an air leak to be driven to drink...?
Too many good beers and fine wines around these parts to
not drink.
Congrats on finding the problem...
Cheers

Got it back together. I can't believe it. IT'S FIXED!! No more slow idle return. I don't know how I ever missed spotting that with as many times as I had the rack off. I didn't even see it before removing the bowls as you can see in the photo. I got my little screwdriver out to remove the pilots. Stuck the screwdriver in the first pilot hole and suddenly spotted the crack in the vacuum line. Well I'll be - Loki there! I removed the pilot jets anyway. I inverted the rack and filled each hole with WD-40. As suspected, it ran right through all of them in about 2 seconds. No blockage there. Then triple checked the float height and slapped them back together. Replaced both lower and upper vacuum lines with new hose.
I want to thank everyone for pitching in to help me resolve the problem. And to everyone that swore it was an air leak -- you were right. I just didn't see it.
