I suspect this has been covered before, so please be patient with me.
Had a vacuum leak around the throttle shaft of the carb, and decided to R&R to a new carb.
When pulling the old carb, I found a small hole drilled through the butterfly valve plates. My guess is that these were done (prior owner) to allow idle with closed plates.
In the process of setting up the new car, did not drill out the plate, and decided to try and set things up with a not modified carb.
All of that said, looking for any pointers or information on the proper setup of this carb. The issue we are seeing right now, is that even with the carb fully closed down the engine idles at 3000 rpm, and can't get it to go slower. Fuel is leaking through the system somehow, and this is a new out of the box carburetor.
