Re: carb issue

If the idle is staying high and will not come back down, this indicates a lean condition. I would bet that you're dealing with a vacuum leak somewhere or a seal isn't set right. Start with the basics. There are only 3 vac lines, IIRC. Pull those and just replace them for good measure. Might as well since you're rebuilding everything else.

If that doesn't clear it up, then you're going to have to go back in there and make sure your new seals aren't bunked up.

The advice to spray WD-40 around the vac lines and carb boots is solid. Do that. If there is a leak, the idle will respond to it.
