Well i'm assuming its the accelerator pump...just rebuilt the carb..once started everything seems to work ok, no big hesitations like there's no pump but getting it started is where I have the issues...I can't get anything to come through the squirters, its like there's no fuel there....carb is the original on my 70 340

I recently rebuilt my TQ. This, by the way, was my first carb build. I got it all together, put it back on the car, pour a little gas in, and start it up. It actually idled really well. After letting it idle for a minute or two I tried reving it. RPM went up, but did not go back down. (Now, I occasionally had this issue before the rebuild, but in a much milder form. After a long steady highway ride, I'd come to a light and the idle would be high so I put it in neutral, give it a quick rev and the idle would drop back to normal.) Now if I rev to, say 3000, it would stay there. I can return the idle to normal by pulling the pedal back to its origin. So where did I go wrong, I did not mess with the pedal or its direct linkage.

Another issue is that, upon turning the engine off and sticking my head back under the hood to inspect the throttle linkage, I noticed white smoke coming from the carburetor. What could this be? The engine was only running for 4 minutes at the most. I can't imagine this would be enough time to boil gasoline. Could it be a coating on the new gaskets burning off?

Please help! It is supposed to be near 70 degrees this week and I want to drive!!!

Thanks,
Robert
