Thermoquad fast idle loss.

Send me your TQ when you replace it with whatever else. I'll pay postage.

After the battery is replaced?

he here you go, solinoid works only when A/C is engaged I think.

Thanks for the pics.
In those photos the fast idle is engaged.
If you start the car like that without touching the gas then the engine should start on fast idle.
Then after a while you should hear the RPMs rise, then you could make a small touch on the gas pedal and the idle should drop down to curb idle.

If the carb is set like in the pics but do NOT start at fast idle, then you could have a leak somewhere.
Also know that modern gas evaporates quickly from the carb when standing for some time, especially in a TQ.
So, after a week of no driving the carb needs to be filled up again.
