    Back to the same problem

    idle speed and/or rpm is controlled by tha idle timing ONLY (10/32 screw on tha timin' arm) no other screw should be turned ta adjust idle period... tha carbs have an idle circuit that can't be adjusted without changing tha jets.. tha numbers for idle timin' really have no bearing on what ya may...
