[Mgs] hot idle troubles

[Stephen West-Fisher]

I've had these symptoms in a Solex (non-MG) from trash in the gas.
If you pull the choke a little does it help? Not enough to get the idle
screws on one of the steps. This could mean you are too lean at idle, it
could be just a carb adjustment or trash in the carb.
Also with my HIF4s I idle closer to 850.

Start up car, drive for 8 miles.  Every thing is good, traffic lights
irritating to driver, but car runs normally.
Stop to pick up some stuff.  Rest for a few minutes.
Get back in car, drive to end of block, reach stop sign, car dies.
.. car dies at all stops for the next few miles unless I give extra
throttle.
Drive 8 miles back home, all is good again.
Stop for coffee.
Get back in car, car dies at intersections once again.

When it doesn't die, idle tickover is about 750rpm
