Okay 74 midget, std cam, std distributor, bored .3 over., distributor at 12
o'clock, Idle set (maybe) at 1000B B (i like smooth quiet purr at lights)



ran fine before replacing jets last june.B B one jet repeatedly gets stuck
down
when pulling choke out and I have to stop and push back up once car gets to
temp.B B This is not the problem annoying but not the problem.



The problem is that my idle is all over the place (cold or warm).B B at one
light its at 900 drops to 500 when I push in the clutch.B B at the next light
it may be at 2100 at idle and when I push the clutch in to lower it it drops
to 1500 still way to high.B when I tap the gas peddle to bump the RPM's this
seems to have no affect on resetting the idle and it runs right back to 2100.
I have played with idle adjustmnet screws and it doesn't seem to matter.B B I
have checked and oiled all parts of carbs I don't see anything sticking.B



Help I am out of ideas and this is just annoying.B B I hate sounding like I am
reving my engine at one light and then almost stalling at the next.B B What am
I missing?
