Don't ise brake fluid, you will damage any paint you spray it on, use start g=
as insted. But be careful, highly inflammable. Perhaps the same result is ac=
hieved with water spray.

On the original subject: our BN2 does that as well. After I blip the thrott=

1) on a warm day, especially, the cylinders 'load up' with unburned fuel an=
d start running too rich=20
2) letting the throttles 'slam shut' causes the idle to 'overshoot' to the =
downside. This is why some cars have 'dashpots' to cushion the lever that o=
perates the throttle(s) when you lift off the gas pedal (I've known cars th=
at would stall if the dashpot wasn't functioning)=20
3) idle may be set a tad low to begin with (though, at first, our car seeme=
d to have the 'HD disease;' i.e. the 'choke' springs weren't strong enough =
to return to normal idle, causing high idle)=20

Anyone got any other causes/solutions?=20

Bob's advice includes some excellent tips but one problem that I have
encountered numerous times that causes the idle speed of a car with SU
carbs to decrease until the engine stops is leakage of the float chamber
needle valves.
Oddly these valves will frequently only leak when the engine is actually
running as there is no overflow from the float chambers when the ignition
is left on with the engine not running.
I have discovered that if you quickly remove the carb dampers and needles
as soon as the engine stops fuel will be found to be leaking out of the
main jet.
I suspect that engine vibration causes the needle valves to leak sometimes.
In the past I used to solve the problem by installing the type of needle
valve with the synthetic rubber tips but those are hard to find these days.

Ah ... that would explain the 'loading up.' Essentially, the engine is flooding. But, I'd expect to see some black smoke out the tailpipe when you blipped the throttles, and I haven't noticed any (but I'll be watching for it now).

----- Original Message -----

Bob's advice includes some excellent tips but one problem that I have encountered numerous times that causes the idle speed of a car with SU carbs to decrease until the engine stops is leakage of the float chamber needle valves. 
Oddly these valves will frequently only leak when the engine is actually running as there is no overflow from the float chambers when the ignition is left on with the engine not running. 
I have discovered that if you quickly remove the carb dampers and needles as soon as the engine stops fuel will be found to be leaking out of the main jet. 
I suspect that engine vibration causes the needle valves to leak sometimes. 
In the past I used to solve the problem by installing the type of needle valve with the synthetic rubber tips but those are hard to find these days.
