[QUOTE="Bluesnailman, post: 623530, member: 17859"] The fast idle is a funny one..... Could be that someone adjusted the carb while it was blocked..... Then it (partly?) cleared while you were driving. Then you now have better flow through the carb and possible the throttle held open on the choke adjustment (screw or coil). That would give you a fast idle. Normally I get a blockage which is tempting to overcome by adjusting the choke to compensate (I dont, I find a nice spot to stop, strip and rebuild - takes less than an hour) If the carb is full of gunk it needs tackling for sure. However, most running problems are down to electrics.... But I think idle speed can only be the carb Sent from my moto g(7) plus using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
