replaced my head gasket today. and as you'll know all the poo had to come off, like the carbs etc. I have twin carbs though and that was a hassle too get off.. So when i went to start it it just revved to hell, to about 9krpm! The linkages where put on the right way! Any ideas?

throttle cables done up to tight....?
carbs may have been turned upside down and piston stuck open?
linkage stuck?

Linkages work freely and the throttle cable is fine. Perhaps this piston is stuck open, either way tey will have to come off and be inspected, because it is them thats causing the problem! right??

I would say so yes, did you take the cables off the carbs or leave them connected? It could also be choke cable, but less likely if the engine went to silly high revs

Yeh defently got something to do with the carbs. Gasket wouldn't have caused it!

Took it back off today and all seems fine. The throttle bit operates the valve in side the way it should. It still revs high as hell. Then after i turn it off theres some smoke coming from down below and a squalching noise like fluid coming out of something

Got it all sorted now (idle was way out because i put the wrong springs back on XD), just need to get to halfords and get some oil! Whats wrong with the asda smart price 20w50? Would it do to sort of flush the rest of the C**p out, like drain this anti-freeze oil C**p then the asda C**p then some good stuf
