Short answer. Yes.

Erratic idle can sometimes be attributed to a flooding issue in which fuel is over-topping the bowl.

When the engine is shut off, can you open the throttle and see if there is any fuel sitting on the intake manifold?

Can you look down the barrel at idle and see if any fuel is piddling from the jets?
