"I've recently rebuilt my 3.0 liter and can't get it to idle properly. It has a Mercarb 2 barrel with an electric choke. The engine will start every try, but instantly runs to 3200 rpm. I can even turn the idle mix screw in all the way & the engine will not stall. I baked out the idle speed screw and it had no effect on the engine speed. The thottle is not binding and the only way we could get it close to idle was by manually holding the choke plate closed so that I could attempt to set the timming. I rebuilt the carb today and followed all the specs and measurements. It still runs the same. I can't seem to figure out whats going on."
