<VV> It's ALIVE...Igor, get the camera!

[Zane Brock]

I've tried to get help but the meds never seem to work.
The first time it cranked it revved past 4k so fast I slammed my hands on
top of the carbs to snuff them. I turned the mix down a notch and the idle
screws a hair and tried again. Once cranked the engine made a steady climb
past 2k and headed for 3k. I put my fingers on the butterflies to test the
pressure lacking in the springs. I backed out the springs all the way and
tried again with little change. The butterflies still swung open at least a
third. 
The fast idle cams were set per the manual using a piece of paper between
the screw and the flange.

Zane, you need to get some help.....most likely it's just the engine on the 
Fast Idle CAMS........let it run for 30 minutes.....then move the 
throttle......if it hasn't blown up, burnt up , run out of oil.......

The idle will return to normal!
