My 1979 MG Midget revving out of control with new Carb and new exhaust manifold.  It is a Webber 34/36 Carb.  1500 engine size. Even without the gas pedal connected and a spring keeping the throttle closed  my new carb causes my engine to rev to 5000rpm, out of control till I shut down the ignition. No vacuume leaks from manifold that I can find.  Help?  I can use my hands,  I Have asked many people -- no one knows, no one has ever heard of this happening.

The fast idle cam adjustment is probably way out.  There are three adjusting screws on the carb (it's a 32/36), idle mixture, idle speed and fast idle.  Look at the Weber diagrams and back off the fast idle screw.


Will Do Thanks Doc.
