[FC] idle/engine

[Ron]

Ben, how do you know that it's blow-by coming through the heater ducts?  Did 
you see where it's coming from?  Blow-by generally has nothing to do with it 
but your engine may have a specific problem that's not common.  Loose 
exhaust packings are the commonist problem.  Are the chokes working OK?  If 
not, they would be holding the fast idle on.  Did you check them?  Read the 
shop manual in the sections on carburetor adjustments and then LOOK at the 
carbs while the engine is running warm and see if you can discern any 
problems.  Make sure that the chokes are fully open.  Write back and let us 
know what you find.
