Another possible cause: Is the choke mechanism failing to completely releas=
e due to friction or incorrect adjustment? Also, is the throttle linkage co=
rrectly adjusted? It should have a bit of free play in the linkage at idle =
so that it is not holding the throttle slightly open. I.E. the throttle lin=

Hi Len -
Sounds to me like you need to check your throttle linkage / throttle shafts=
 (are they loose?) / butterfly valves (are they loose and/or are they seate=
d properly?).

you can check throttle shafts by dripping some oil in on each side of the s=
haft on the carb and if the car starts running more reliably, then it means=
 you need to have the throttle bodies reamed and re-bushed.
you can check the butterfly valves by removing the carbs from the car.
hope that helps,
Alan
