	After some months away from the car it now idles near 1500 (as opposed to below 1000) I was losing brake fluid into the servo which i thought may have created a vacuum leak but i have replaced the servo with no difference to the idle The two SUs appear to be closing fully. If i look past the piston they both appear shut. The choke cable isn't staying on I've sprayed carb cleaner all around the carbs and hoses and inlet manifold and can't get it to change tone. I thought i had something initially but cleaner was just finding its way through the main intake I did take a video of it though

	SOLVED When i put the carb back on at Christmas i must have pulled on the choke cable too much and possibly pushed the choke itself slightly up the cable meaning it was always slightly on It took a visit to Kelbrook Classics www.kelbrookclassics.co.uk/ (who i highly recommend) to notice the choke wasn't fully releasing and there was a kink in the cable a bit further down where it used to be attached I think because an orange light comes on when it's time to push the choke in i hadn't looked closely enough at it but of course that works in a different way So a relief to get fixed and hopefully maybe someone else might find this useful
