Aaron,
shot in the dark but... The rear carbie has a vacuum connection
under it for running the distributor advance (retard?) from. check
you have it hooked up, or at least sealed.
2nd shot; there's a lever on the adjusting side of each caeb which
pushes a plunger in and out; think it has to do with 1st generation
emiision control; make sure these are seating correctly; reach down
and with a screwdriver. force it closed. if the RPM drops, remove
the circlip, remove the lever.

Subject: Carb Tuning High Idle
: Hi List,
: Well, finally got to the point this morning where I was ready to
tune the carbs after rebuilding them this winter. Set everything up
the way I needed too, even moved the car out of the garage so I
didnt make myself ill. Started it up, and had to increase the idle
slightly to keep it going. Let the car warm up. As it started to
warm up the idle took off and hit right around 2500. After it was
good and warm, I backed off the idle screws until they werent
touching and the idle stayed the same. Next I checked to make sure
I had installed the choke properly so it wasnt 180 degrees out.
Both ok. But still the idle persisted. I put the unisyn over the
carbs and the back carb was drawing more air volume than the front,
but nothing I could do would bring the idle down. So here it is
with three days of nice warm spring weather here in Maine and I am
itching to drive but cant. I am open to suggestions and any and all
help would be appreciated.
: Thanks in advance...

just isnt the same)
