Hey guys,
I picked up my completely rebuilt set of carbs from Joe Curto on New Years eve (New throttle shafts! Yay!). I installed them that day but because of time constraints got them set only roughly. Still, it was running well enough to get it back to the lot and even in that state I could tell a SIGNIFICANT difference in the power. Apparently the needles the dpo had installed were from a TR2...
This evening I went to the lot (it's parked outside) and had a hard time starting it. Now I'm experiencing a strange problem. When the car starts running, the idle goes way up to about 2500 rpm for about 5 seconds, then just cuts out. This is with choke about 90% on. Once it's up to running temperature, I can give it some gas and it won't die, but then the idle goes really high again. I'm not sure what's going on... I had the carbs synched and idling around 1100 a few days ago when I installed them. Any ideas on what to look for would be great.
It is relatively cold - about 33 right now, if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Gavin
