After a few weeks, I still haven't figured out the fast idle problem I'm having (around 1300 rpm) with my 77FJ. It all started when I sprayed a little carb cleaner around the butterfly when I was changing my air filter. With some help from Pinhead, I found the third hidden idle screw and turned it out which brought it down from around 1800rpm. All idle screws are now turned out and I adjusted the timing again with no dramatic change.

I then capped all vacuum lines coming from the carb and at the distributor (it's desmogged), but no change. I sprayed carb cleaner around the vacuum lines and the intake manifold to check for leaks, but no change. I checked and lubed the linkages and they seem to be functioning okay. The fuel level in the window looks good.

I pulled the solenoid wire. Okay, that made a difference, but it still took a minute to stall out. Any other suggestions before I dissassemble the linkages and the carb would be appreciated. Thanks - Matt
