Good day all,

 My 1972 TR6 is stock, aside from a Pertronix Ignitor ignition module and a Flamethrower coil. The car runs pretty good, aside from being terribly cold-blooded and the idle speed is very high. The idle speed was just as high before the Pertronix parts were added. It had a Crane ignition before. 

 The idle remains very high even with the choke cable disconnected, the throttle linkage removed and the idle speed screws on both carbs backed out to where the venturi are closed. The carb linkage moves freely and is not binding. 

 Disconnecting the vacuum advance causes the RPMs to decrease only very slightly. 

Any thoughts?

Jerry
