Ok you got to me. I adjusted the carb on the Nova for low and high idle speed. Turning the allen head screw in speeds up the engine when the wire to the solonid is unplugged. Mine was so loose that I am surprised that it didn't fall out. All is good now,just bump the key (when the engine is warmed up) and it starts easily without touching the pedal. May I suggest milling the "new" head for a compression increase with the stock bottom end. Also consider replacing the stock cam at the same time with something a little hotter. Jay 6155
