I would first suggest an air
leak but you seemed to have addressed it. Have
you have the carbs apart
recently? I had a very similar problem when I
mis-aligned one of the
butterflys during a re-build. Could this have
happened to you and just been
masked by the plug wire?
Also, Separate the two carbs by loosening the
connector linkage. This will
help to isolate the offender.

Subject: [TR] tr3 fast idle
seems i had been running
with a failing plug wire for while.
idle had been around 600/700
replaced plug
wire and am running strong on all 4 cylinders again.
but idle has been at 1500
and i cant seem to get it down.
the adjustment screws on the carbs are
completely out. not even touching.
tried pulling the throttle closed by
hand..nope tried advancing the ignition
timing..nope tried retarding
ignition..nope.
sprayed brake cleaner on all 4 parts of the throttle shaft.
had slight
effect and idle speed went down just a tad. wet the throttle shafts
with
engine oil/30 wt..no change.
any thoughts?
Frank
