    OK for the second time since I installed the new carb the afternoon heat has caused it to rev up and idle high and even start to accelerate the truck. I think that spacer may be an insulator as JamesW says to isolate the carb from the manifold heat. I'm going to put it back in when I catch up with my other chores. I'll report back.

    don't know if that is the fix but all i know is it worked for me i mean it does make sense if you think about it i mean the original Mitsubishi carb had that big thick spacer on it that may have been the reason. like i said i used the 7mm you may have to go bigger like the one inch. one thing i did have to do after installing the spacer was i had to readjust my kick out cable but thats because i have a automatic transmission but that wasn't any trouble at all to do. but so far it seems to be working like i said i have way more power may be just my wish fully thinking keeping my fingers crossed lol
