hello every one. I just got a weber 32/36 DGEV for my 1979 chevy luv. I installed the carb last night followed every instruction I can fined. but the stupid thing Idles to high. there is no binding in the linkage, no vacume leaks, that I know of, check everything could not fined one. and check the timing even though I know it will be off after checking it with such I high idle. any help would be great, I just want to drive my truck

Is the secondary closing all the way?

Is the choke connected, adjusted and functioning properly?

Here is a trouble shooting guide, section 5C addresses the fast idle adjustment and 5D is choke adjusted.
