I'm having similar issue with my 1984 720 with the z24. When I start it up it idles down low around where it should (at least I think, my tech doesn't work) for the first few seconds, but the high idle kicks in and doesn't want to turn off. It's quite perplexing because for nearly two weeks it was idling nice and low (albeit a little rough) and the high idle would only be on for a couple minutes at most. I don't have a whole lot of experience working on these engines or carbs in general. Any help would be much appreciated!
I will take a look at the choke and fast idle cams and see if they're getting sticky. I would like to adjust the fuel mixture because I'm sure it will idle a lot smoother but thats hard to do when it won't come off the high idle
