[DML] Constant High Idle Speed

["dukeofclassiccars" <tswatch@xxxxxxxx>]

Well, I bought my first DMC about 3 months ago and been spending a 
lot of time fixing up the mess of the previous owner.  Unfortunately 
I'm stuck on one last problem.  I have a constant high idle speed of 
1,900 RPM.  Twice what it should be.

My old regulator was rusted open and the inside was torn apart.  We 
decided to make our own regulator from a water valve and control it 
manually to see if this solved our problem. She ran beautiful.  Even 
driving her up and down my road she worked great.  I bought a new 
regulator and put it on and now I get a very high constant idle speed 
of 1,900 RPM.  Due to the test with the water valve, I believe that 
it is getting too much air into the engine now.  Something is holding 
the new regulator open... but I cannot figure out what.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.  I'm dying to drive her 
more than just to the end of my road.
Thanks!
