QJet Carb.

Still trying to get my QJet Carb. right, now it idles way to high. I cannot adjust the idle screw anymore. Does anyone have ant suggestions. I should have bought the rebuild one on ebay. Or should I change the whole thing to a Edlebrock preformer. Thanks for all your help guys.

There are two idle speed adjustment screws, one for the choke on the passenger side of the carb, and the other for the "normal" idle on the driver side. Push that green weight down that's on the passenger side and see if the idle goes down. If it does, then it's your choke idle (aka "high idle" on the emissions sticker) that's too high.
