You don't say what year, but if they have the throttle bypass valves, 
that could be the culprit.  On my GT6 150s, they are on the right side of 
the carbs, closer to the engine.  The sort of look like a large nipple 
protruding and have a small adjustment screw set inside.  I've had high 
RPM trouble before and adjusting them out (CCW) dropped the idle to 
normal.

O.K. folks!  I am at my wits end.  Rebuilt the two Zenith Strombergs on 
my TR6.  Put them back together the way they were, when the shopmanuals 
were not really clear.  (That's assuming that the DPO had them together 
correctly in the first place.  It hardly ran when I got it, so nothing to 
compare to.)

Thanks for the suggestions on the leaks.  I have used about three 
thousand gallons of spray checking for leaks.  No matter what I do, they 
idle at about 1600 RPM.  All linkages unhooked, so can't be that.  Last 
night the motor speed suddenly dropped.  I don't know what I touched. 
Revved the engine a little and it returned to 1500 RPM or so.

Everything looks clean and seems to function as it should.  Put all new 
gaskets in with the rebuild.  What am I missing, or should I just have my 
local Medicine Man come by for an exorcism?

Thanks for any words of wisdom or solutions, no matter how 
off-beat...I'll try just about anything.  I want this thing on the road!

Cheers,
