[Honda-C70] idle way too high

 

Hi all,

I recently bought an '84 C70. The gas tank had to be replaced with a brand new one as it was all rusty inside. I decided to replace the carb too with a new one. Turns out the carb wasn't an exact match but close enough and I've got it attached okay. However I now can't get the idle down. It's way too high and any adjustments to the idle stop screw has no affect on it.

Has anyone encountered this with a replacement carb? If so how did you fix it. The tank and carb were bought from Beatrice.

Thanks
Wally
