[Rovernet] A TC Puzzle for you!

[Jim Pile]

Thanks, Ben.  Good to hear from you. One of these days I'll get over to your area for a visit, but I'm still working and time off comes hard. Next year I retire. Whoopee!!
		I've got another fender myself, but the damaged one can be fixed: Just have to get around to it. 

	All the best,

			Jim

When reassembled, the mechanic - who is familiar with English cars - did not re-connect the cables (a chore which I performed later). Instead, to start the car, he made an adjustment somewhere that kick-started the car at around 3500 rpms! Then, as the car warmed up, the rpm's gradually reduced until it was idling gracefully. I have rebalanced the carbs, but that has had no effect. It still starts screaming, then takes about 4 minutes to settle down. What could this mechanic have done to create this most embarrassing way to start an otherwise smoothly running car?
