just came home for lunch, and turned the key and the bus started and seem to
be holding an idle (like the choke is working now) I didn't do anything to
it last night ....nothing (maybe it's possessed)

when I get home after work, I'll crank it up and see if the idle holds at
the stop sign, maybe I can take a spin it , feels like Germany out side
right now with the weather.

Stay tuned,

Trey

 The choke heater cover is held in place by the three screws and a ring
clamp.There should be a reference mark on the choke heater cover and on
the carb body.If you line up the marks the fast idle cam should cause the
engine to idle faster and the fast idle adjustment screw should be on the
part of the cam that would cause the throttle to be partly open.
  As the heater coil heats up the fast idle cam lever should start to
unwind and the engine idle to slow down.If the choke heater is functional
the heater cover should be hot after the engine has been ran for a few
minutes or when the ignition is on.
I hope this helps a little.

Jumped in the bus tonight to enjoy a nice ride. it started up but had a
rough idle, had to keep the gas pedal down some to keep the idle. Drving out
of the neighborhood it would die at the stop signs. Would not hold an idle
at all. had to come back home and vent. It ran fine last week

Seems the fast idle isn't working. or engaging if that;s possible..

1600 DP with new Pict 34....

Any ideas? Could the choke be shot?
