As I get Ole Reliable closer and closer mechanically to where I want her to be, smaller things start to annoy me. I am running the old HS6 SU Carbs and after the engine is warmed up when I come to a stop my idle stays up around 1500 rpm or sometimes higher. If I blip the throttle slipping my toe off the pedal it will usually slow the idle slightly to about 1200 rpm. However, if I shut the car off and then restart it ... it will sit there and idle happily at 800 rpm or sometimes even lower. I recently replaced the choke cables so the choke is working properly and shutting off completely. The fast idle linkage seems to be free moving ... ..there appears to be no loosness in the throttle shafts ....... anyone got any suggestions ???
