My truck has GOUT....running REAL rich..help me out

I dont know much if anything about CARB'd trucks...And my toyota doesnt even have a toyota motor in it. It has a Buick 3800 V6 with a holley carb. At idle, it runs really rich. The whole front yard smells like fuel, and the idle is very speratic.Almost like the truck is going to shut off, than it jumps back to life. What should I chec k for first?

That Probably wouldn't hurt... check your jets on your carb.
