[Spridgets] Won't Idle Down

[Bert Shirey]

Guys and Gals: Last month I passed down my 1966 MKII 1098 MIdget to a
friend. I had the car 57 years from new, but I can no longer take care of
it as it needs 'and it was time to let it  go to a good home
        . Some time ago I replaced the carbs with new SU H2s. Ever since,
the idle will not come down. It holds about 1500 RPM normal and higher on
fast. Because of back issues, I was never able to properly sort out the
trouble. The screws are out to the point of being loose. Before I installed
the new carbs I went over the whole car, timing, ignition, plugs, valve
adjustment.
      The car has about 55000 miles and is in mechanically good shape,
since I babied it. My friend is not yet a list member, and I still feel
some responsibility to help him getting the Midge running properly.He says
he checked for vacuum leaks in the usual manner, to no avail. There is a
slight oil leak from one of the tappet side covers that I suppose could
draw air into the breather, maybe unlikely.
          Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers, Bert Shirey.
