Maybe check the timing? Also a vacuum leak? You should be able to close the throttle plates to make the engine die. What is holding them open?<br>
Also check the choke plate, it should also fully open.<br>

My Stag is running, but I can't get the idle below 2000. Removed the carb and checked settings and jest and all seemed OK. Timing is correct. Fuel levels appear OK. Is it a jetting issue? Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
