    The Carters are great when they are set up. The fast idle is mechanical as is everything else on the Carter. The best way to set it up is to buy a rebuild kit and look at the folded spec paper inside. It gives simple directions and diagrams with the specs on a table. I kept the kit from my first rebuild, and set up all of my AFBs with it. It will take a few hours, but be sure to check the float drop and height settings, too. I had a place in CA rebush two of mine that were leaking down(a common problem) and they didn't set anything to spec. After a few cuss words at their laziness, I had it set up, and it was very snappy, indeed.
