I am having troubles with my motor idling high once it gets warmed up. I am pretty sure it is the linkage. I have done all of the necessary adjustments to the motor including carb syncing, timing, valves etc. It has been running great on short runs during cooler temps. It seems once I run it on the highway to town and then get to slower town speeds and stop signs,the idle is way up. If I get out and take a look at the idle adjustment screws the plates are not quite resting on the screws. I can pull up the linkage to set the plates properly but then I drive a little while longer and it seems to stick again. My theory is that when the engine gets heated up the linkage parts expand and bind a little. I have adjusted the linkage when the engine is warm but am still having problems. Any thoughts?? I am running Weber 44's with CB linkage, all brand new.

Your carbs may be binding slightly due to the heat, or its as you say, in the linkage somewhere

Common problem with a throttle cable thats adjusted to tight, try backing it off a little.
