Hello, I have a question that maybe someone can help me with. I have been working on my 76 spitfire for a while. I have completed most of my repairs but I now have a problem with the idle speed. When the engine warms up the car idles at about 800 rpms. If I continue to let it idle it will start dropping idle speed in about 10 minutes. It starts to run a 700 then 600 and then 500. If I give it some gas for a bit and back off it will return to the slower rpm and not the 800. If I open the throttle with the idle screw to 800 it will run there for a while and start doing the same thing again going to 700 then 600 then 500 and so on. Has anyone seen this problem before? I am not sure what exactly is causing the problem. I looked in my book and it says to look at the temp compensator as it may be defective. I looked at my carburetor and it was manufactured after those were used and therefore does not require one. I am kinda at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bobby.
