I'm working on a 1930 Commander 8. I just installed a completely rebuilt Stromberg UX2 updraft. Things seemed to be going well. Throttle linkage was working fine. By that I mean the leakage comes back to idle setting. The choke cable is a little sticky or doesn't move freely. Would take some advice there if someone could help. The bigger issue is idle speed. The RPM's are around 1200 and when I adjust the idle set screw I can't seem to get the RPM's down to a round 500 to 600 rpm's or a decent idle speed. Secondly, I noticed when I adjusted the Idle mixture screw I couldn't get a reaction out of the engine. I have a tach/dwell meter hooked up to the the engine and the tach needle wouldn't change when I enriched or leaned out the carb. I wonder why?? I thought a vacuum leak somewhere?? The carb is snugged up good to the gasket and intake. That's about the only place I could see there would be a vacuum issue. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
