just a quick word about high idle... i have numerous times found that i had to push the idle lever back as diomed mentioned and thats with a new return spring and nothing hanging up in the linkage...
the fix was to replace the throttle shaft with an oversize...

it was just to sloppy in the bore and caused the throttle plates to hang in the carb body.. no vacuum leak was really noticeable either but after changing wow what a difference
