Default Idle @ 2k !

First of all thanks for all the help on other posts.

I've got everything running good...Engine running cool and smooth.

Just can't figure out why my idle is at 2000 rpm!

Timing is at 10-11 degrees - if i advance it anymore the idle goes up with it.

Should i turn the idle stop screw? (how do you turn it anyway?)

I suggest you make sure the throttle valve inside the throttle body is returning all the way back. If it sticking, it would cause the motor to idle high.
Also, make sure your throttle cable isn't sticking.

In other words, check the easy stuff first....
