[T3] Running high

[K Nolte <knolte@CLEMSON.EDU>]

<x-flowed>It's me again. I've been having a number of problems with the idle on my 
'71 Square. She won't run at a  an idle RPM under 1500-1600 unless I 
give the throttle a good solid goosing, and even then it immediately 
goes right back up there once I start to drive.

I've taken the carb apart enough to clean out the float chamber and the 
throats, and gave all the parts I could see a good cleaning while I was 
in there about a week and a half ago, but it didn't help much. I removed 
about a quarter inch of some black fuzz-like gunk out of the float 
chamber; didn't think anything that looked that nasty could belong in 
there.

Also, she won't hold a timing very well, but I think that also stems 
from the carburetor issue. I need to get this fixed so I can run a valve 
job; I haven't started it in a while because one of the valves on number 
three was rattling like a woodpecker on speed.

From what I can tell, the carburetor is a Weber, two barrel. The car is 
an automatic, if that makes any difference.

Any help anyone can give me would be great!
