OK so here's my problem... 235 1960 engine, I bought a rebuilt single barrel carb from Recarb last July. We fussed with the timing, etc and got her running so-so. Just finished putting a new head in her (old one cracked) and had a bit of a challenge getting her to run right. Now have her running well BUT it idles like crap - races like crazy. The problem has definately been isolated to the carb. Funny thing is that we can tap the base and the idle will drop. Tap it again and she races. We're now thinking that we got a bad piece of work from Recarb. Of course warranty has run out...

Any thoughts?? Any NOS carbs out there??
