Jonathan,

        Bob has a real good point. If you also rebuilt your carbs, you could
        have put the choke in 180 degrees off. Try pulling the choke cable
        when the engine is hot. The RPM's should decrease (at least they do
        in my TR6). If there's no change or an increase in RPM's, then
        it just might be the choke. To complicate matters, one carb could
        be set correctly and the other incorrect. If you want, undo the screw
        for both carbs and turn the choke individually, one carb at a time.
You might 
        be surprised. Keep us posted. It sound like an real interesting problem.

        Jeff N.
