Carb Idling Too High

Hi folks,

After four months on jackstands, my TR3A is back on the road and running 
great.  Only thing is, I cannot set the idle below 1,500 rpm.  The timing, 
points, valves and plugs have been set, and I've attempted my first-ever 
tuning of the carburetor.  Other than two verrrry slightly bent needles 
(which are not currently sticking), everything looks good, save for the plugs 
indicate it is running somewhat on the rich side.  I have the idle screws 
completely backed out for each carb, but I can't get the revs down.  It seems 
to run smooth and strong.  Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Bill Stagg
1961 TR3A
