[T3] Unwanted horsepower


Hello to the list again after a long period of not having a server.  God I've 
missed the info on this list, and my poor SB needs you "volks" badly.

My Square has the dual 34 Weber carb. kit, with a some-what funky but 
functional linkage on it, (looks to have been welded/repaired).  Anytime¦že, the idle rev's up so bad that I have to take it out of gear to avoid 
burning up the brakes, and accomodate stopping, (ya,... that bad).  I have 
replaced the throttle cable, messed with the linkage, checked the float 
valve/jet, cleaned the carbs and even kissed the exaust pipe and pleaded with 
it, all to no avail.  I thought it may have been the inertia of stopping, 
affecting the linkage, or the return springs were to weak.  After playing 
with those ideas I am no closer to solving the problem.  One interesting 
thing is that when I slowly creep over a steep hill, the rev's increase 
dramaticly.  Would tilting the nose down, (slowly, with no inertia afecting 
the linkage), make gas run out of the float bowl into the engine?  When I 
brake hard, such as at a yellow light at an intersection, it takes 15-20 
seconds for it to slowly return to an idle.  I just replaced the front 
brakes, the whole ca'bang, including bearings, rotors and pads, and would 
like to see them last without giving them the whooping I have in the past.  
Does anyone have any theories?  I'm about ready to get a new 34 Weber kit and 
S*%# can the old.  HEEEEEEELP!
