As most of you probably know, with no load on an engine, it doesn't take much more than a crack of the throttle to see some wicked pissah (*) RPM's! I did an initial startup on a TR6 race motor with a Weber DCOE 40 that was stock on the idle screw - I saw 7000 on the tach as I shut off the ignition. It went to those RPMs in less than a second. Speaking of which - the idle stops on the stock DCOE40's SUCK. The metal is too thin for the screw contact patch and they wedge in there... makes syncing the carbs a real beyatch. But it also why I cringe or resort to profanity if an over zealous tech inspector tries snapping the throttles. But I got to build that motor...

<div style="font-family:Helvetica;">Was a beautiful day for a drive yesterday in northern NJ.</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica;">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! </div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica;"><br clear="none">

<div style="font-family:Helvetica;">Any ideas or suggestions?</div>
