I went for a test drive this morning and the idle is still a little high. I'm going to let things cool down and add a second gasket, but maybe I need a stronger return spring. When I punch the gas pedal and release quickly, the idle is about right. When driving and stopping at a light or stop sign, the idle remains high until I punch the gas pedal again. Another thought was to spray some WD40 on the throttle bar at the bottom of the carb. Maybe that will loosen it up a little more. Anyway, I'll wait until things cool down.
