Hey Guys
I rebuilt my carb double checked everything and installed it. Once it got fuel it started right up then as it warmed up the idle went sky high so I checked everything looked at the before photos to make sure I put everything back where it was turned the idle screws out and still high idle. I took it off and disassembled it again to see if I missed anything put it back together and it did the same thing. Money is real tight so taking it to a mechanic is out as is buying a new one. With my disability that is a connective tissue disease I tore something else in my shoulder and 2 days later tore a bicep so I can't do this much longer. Today I cleaned and reinstalled the old float needle and seat because it seemed like there was a lot of fuel in different places in the carb put a new gasket on fired it up and same thing. Im lost please help.
P.S. it did seem like it was warped some but I heard all quadrajets have this.
