First, I would like to thank all the people who reply to my 
metering needle problem and especially Bill Woodruff for his 
advise and header(I swear I'll put it on one of these day).  
I have just rebuilt the ZS carb on my 78 Spitfire and it is 
now running smooth and I'm also not getting any more blooms of black 
smoke from my tail pipe when I acclerate.  Also, to my supprise 
the hot water automatic choke seems to be working once I've cleared 
the blockage on the outlet pipe and adjusted it.  The only problem 
now is the fast idle speed, I can't get it to idle under 2000rpm 
when the engine is cold.  Once it have warmed up, the idle drops to 
around 800rpm.   I have tried to adjust the fast idle screw to the
point of removing it with no effect.  Does anyone have any ideas as
to how to fix this problem.  Thanks in anticipation.

Dave
