$7 fix for the throttle return spring, previous owner had a spring going from the linkage to a hard brake line on the firewall... that was to long... so ignoring the lack of it being attached to a bracket or bolt or anything, it was just long enough that when you removed your foot from the accelerator (yeah I know, no one calls it that anymore) it wouldn't (because it couldn't) return the throttle to 0% / completely closed... explains the high idle. Soon as I removed that, spent a few dollars on a assortment pack of springs from the parts store, I grabbed one about the right length, curled the ends in just enough that it pulled on the spring a little when attached to a bracket holding the throttle cable and the linkage on the carb.... and wala.... Man the previous owner was cheap...
