[Fot] Fwd: Engine races

[David Gott]

Hi Todd,
My first question would be, was the engine fully warmed up when you set the idle at 1100? (Like HOT)   I know once my race engine gets warm the idle is much higher; make sure to set idle with a hot engine...  but maybe you already did that!
Let us know!
Thanks,Dave Gott

I sent this earlier today with a video.  I removed it and am trying again.

Sorry for the double post if it comes thru.

Todd

Friends!

Was a beautiful day for a drive yesterday in northern NJ.

Problem is shortly after this video I was coming to a stop and when i pressed in the clutch the engine raced to 5-6k  I shut it down and pulled off the road.  This has happened before and we've done some things,  added a vacuum line, lubricated the linkage as we thought that the throttle was sticking, check the idle screw thinking it loosened(SU's).  I fired it back up and the racing stopped but the idle now was at 2300rpm.  We had it set to 1100rpm.  Drove it home, parked it and had a couple of pints! 




Any ideas or suggestions?

Todd
