I rebuilt a Qjet carb here recently. And tested it for the first time on the car today. It revved real good. And I loved the way it "felt" on the motor.
But twice it got hung up and stayed revved. Once while In drive. The motor was still pushing with my front tires locked up in braking at a stop sign. All outside linckage was fine, I could see nothing on the outside of the carb that would make the throttle stick open. And as far as I could tell, The throttle blades were closing all the way. Looking into the top of the carb, the rear blutterflies were closed all the way too. Any ideas?
I had the holley in the back seat, changed it out at the stop sign, and went on about my buisiness.

Choke or choke linkage sticking, choke wire loose, no power or not connected (was choke open completely when this occured?), vaccuum leak, throttle return spring weak, throttle linkage binding.
It was a stop sign, so there was no time limit. It took less than 5 minutes for the two of us to change carbs.
I left the choke off, as I dont intened to use one. Is this it? Is there some internal mechanism the choke controls that, if left off, could cause that to happen?
