>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?

Sure. Check the fast idle screws. If one or more is still on the fast
idle cam whth the choke fully off then they could be the culprit. Check
the linkage. The linkage should allow the throttles to go completely
closed but if not adjusted properly it may not.
The other thing to check is the throttle plates. If you removed and
reinstalled them they may not be centered. Unfortunately this involves
removing the carbs so save it for last.
Good luck
Dave
