    Engine Surge on High Idle Only.

    When I start the car, it surges on high idle only. Normal idle and driving is fine. Its a 1986 with a carb set up. Any ideas why it might be surging? I checked for vacuum leaks but couldn't find any issues. I've adjusted my carb and timing where it runs the best. Bad idle circuit maybe?
