I'm still tracking down an erratic idle. Mine idles right for 25 seconds or so, then falls to 600-650.

I squirted some carb fluid and found an intake leak on #1 manifold that was causing the cylinder to misfire. I'm replacing the gaskets soon (I had tightened them earlier with no effect).

Also richened to mixture as I found it was .38(!) rather than .8 at a smog inspection.

Look for intake leaks, and if you still have trouble, then you may have to work on the air flapper or CO mixture (3mm hex nut - have to drill to get at it).
