John, suggest you start by setting the end adjustment according to
the spec in Bentley (and have a spare E-clip in case one goes flying
- I believe Dennis H says 3/16 size from the hardware store will
work).  Right now you've got the rod constantly holding the throttle
slightly open.

The adjusting range on the throttle screw is five or six turns
IIRC.  You've got a nice tight throttle body now, so keep opening up
that screw (and of course you know to set the basic idle and timing
with the idle stab module bypassed).

Yours,
David
