I have twice encountered something similar on my A. One time was the
springs on the throttle shafts came slightly loose and were not pulling
the throttles back completely closed. When it is idling high, try to
twist the throttles closed. The other time was when the throttle cable
was clamped a little too long and the casing of the cable would pop out
of the holder right above the carbs and then not slide back in. In
both instances tapping the gas would sometimes make it go away. Mike
