Worldly Scions and Tr. devotees,

I have eliminated most of the problems on the Grape. ('73 Spit 1500)
I am left with but two problems.

1) I have installed a set of dual SUs, 1 1/2 inch units from a non-US
model. The idle speed is sitting at about 2000 rpm, and the only way
to get it ti come down is to adjust the timing. I don't want to change
the timing, as I  have it set where it needs to be. Any suggestions?

2) Has anyone else put these carbs on a Spit determined the best way
to install the choke? I am about to fabricate a complicated linkage.
The simple way doesn't work, as I cannot pull/push the cable.
