<VV> '65 High rpm when started

[Frank DuVal]

Check the throttle linkage. Spark plug wires can get in the way. Broken 
throttle return spring? 140s have lots of parts to the throttle linkage, 
check carefully.

Disconnect the accelerator rod that goes through the "firewall" part of 
the shroud. If the idle is fine, but returns to high after rod is hooked 
back up, check between the firewall and gas pedal.

It ran like a champ on the way home from the shop, but after sitting a mere 6 days in the garage, I charged it up, started it, and the engine immediately went into high rpms with no let down.  I tried starting it a few more times with same results.
