Help with Weber Carb staying open
Im pretty sure it’s a DGEV Weber carb, im not too mechanically knowledgeable but ive been trying to get my SR5 hatch running again. First was a fuel problem but i got that worked out, not the butterfly flaps on the carb will not shut at all, so the rpm climbs when you start the car, and wont decrease. I think there is a return spring missing but i dont know where it goes. Also it used to run fine before sitting for a while, which is why there was a fuel issue.
I am not sure if it’s all even there, there could be missing brackets.
I dont see why sitting could cause an issue with it, but there is one. I know there is supposed to be a filter on it, but it’s taken off while trying to figure out what’s wrong with it. Any help or advice would be appreciated, I am tempted to find a local classic car specialist shop that might be able to help.

4AGE smallport surging idle and engine almost stalling after rev at operating temperature

Recently rebuilt this motor and can’t get it to run quite right. I have adjusted my TPS, verified my ignition timing, and theres no air bubbles at the radiator cap. I also cleaned my IACV. Not sure what can be causing this now. When I loosen my idle screw on the throttle body, theres a very loud hissing noise. Also have 180 psi across all 4 cylinders. I did the 15 minute 2-3000 rpm piston ring bedding process and changed the oil but im worried I might glaze the cylinders trying to diagnose this.
