Hi Ken,
I was having the same problem with my GT6. The gas tank has crud in it and
has fouled the carbs, filters, pump, and also a spark plug. Check it out,
the same symptoms. Don't know if yours is the same. I had also just
rebuilt the carbs. Good luck. You may have seen my earlier posts regarding
the gas tank solutions. If not, I can send them to you.

Subject: gt6 bad idle
Fellow Listers
Just started my 70 GT6+ parts car. starts ok but is
hard
to keep going. With the choke all the way out it runs about 2500 rpm. If i
push the choke in when warmed up the engine dies. When I push the choke in
very slightly I can get it to run at about 1200 rpm but it surges. The idle
will go down till it all most stalls for a few seconds and then back up to
1200 rpm for a while then down again. This doesn't happen when i give it the
gas. I managed to drive it into the gararge but the engine seems to lack
power also.
I rebuilt the carbs last fall when i got the car and think i got
everything right ( I have rebuilt CDSEs before). Car has new fuel filter and
the fuel pump strainer was cleaned out so i don't think its a fuel problem.
Any Ideas?? TIA
