Last months TB cleaning raised my Idle...
Last night I revisited it,
Here's what I did wrong...
The Throttle position switch was holding it and...
the throttle link was 1 turn too short

So in order of operations...
1) loosen the TPS and remove the throttle link end
2) loosen the throttle stop screw
3) turn the throttle screw in till it just touches the arm on the throttle
4) spin the lock nut up
5) when I tightened the lock nut it turned the screw 1/4 turn...perfect
6) adjust and tighten the TPS
7) adjust and install the throttle link
8) set the base idle
Just like in the FAQ !!! I guess I wasn't paying attention the first time
It's easier without the toddler underfoot
