On my way to Sam's Club tonight FROG AYE decided to act up. The idle was a
bit fast (around 2000) so I was hoping to remember to set it down when I got
to the parking lot.  FROG AYE had different ideas and as I was pulling away
from a light the idle ran away to about 4500.  So what's going on?  The
butterfly valves are closed.  If I lift the piston on either SU he will slow
down and die.  If I cover the intake of either carb I get fuel on my hand
and the engine slows down and dies.  Kind of interesting driving home in
traffic with a car that doesn't run slower than 4500rpm.  Although it seemed
that the idle was creeping faster the final, change was almost immediate.
Where do I start looking for this?

Hal
