what the...!?!?! jets bored out! dude, he just screwed you. you need another carb or have it rebuilt again. the jets should have NEVER been touched. the ABC valve is supposed to make any nessisary adjustments with the premice that the jets are a fixed size.
as for the cold high idle, have you ever driven a carbed car before? the high idle is from the choke and it's supposed to do that (though not quite so high, 1500 should be your high idle. can you take a pic of your engine so i can see if anything is missing? the only thing that should have been changed on that carb are the gaskets and seals.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

Thats the MPG I get, but my car is blowing oil, and GAS, out of the tailpipe
