Hey... wondered if someone may be able to help as I am out of ideas....
The car idles at around 1000/1100 normally but if I put my foot down for a while while driving then pull up to idle again it can sit at 1800!
I have replaced the carb with another, checked the needle is where it should be and everything is sitting flush, I have had 2 different accelearot cables and used both 10-40 oil and 3 in 1 oil in the carb, all to no avail.
Any thing to try/cure would be appreciated

Could be an air leak on a gasket somewere or even a fault on the ignition system. Is it electronic or points?
Another thing to check is that the accelerator is running smoothly with no tight bends or kinks or getting trapped anywere. Is the pedal moving freely and not sticking too.

Also, check that the vacum advance pipe is on ok and not split.
