Is there any slack in the cable going to the carbs and are the ferrule ends seated correctly (too much slack is not good either).

Check carefully in the driver's footwell that there is nothing obstructing the correct operation of the pedal and it's cross arm. (My carpet moved up and blocked the proper return of the cable / acclr. arm. Being stuck in traffic at 2500 revs is not funny!).</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">3.) Have you changed the (routing of the) acclr. cable?

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<div> . 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. </div><div> 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.</div><div> Any ideas would be appreciated.
