74 with FI 2.0, can not get idle down (from 1200 +) . adjustment screw turned all the way in. with a complete turn or a bit more the other way, it will go up. is this a case of worn out needle valve/carb. any help really appreciated.

also any suggestions on a local mechanic in oregon city, oregon area also appreciated.

many thanks.

Check the complete throttle linkage (cable, pedal, bell crank bushings) the throttle body, and the return spring to make sure it's all coming back to the correct idle position.

As stated above, vacuum leaks could also be a reason.

You can use a timing light to check the advance mechanism is advancing and returning from advance properly, as it may be sticking.
