Quick recap, The idling screw gets loose and I can’t set it below 1000rpm. Timing and mixture on point. Where can I start troubleshooting?

Thanks! 😊

Vacuum leak would be my first guess or something is stopping the butterfly closing to the normal idle position.

Check the fast idle screw is not holding the butterfly open.
