erratic idle problem and lopeing when coming back to idle
I have has the truck for about 4 months now. I installed a 366 spring and turned in the fuel screw and adjusted the fuel pin to the deepest side and turned the star wheel a little. It has been idling fine up until about a week ago. It idles up and down just a little bit while in park. when I am driving and coning to some traffic where I just have my foot barely on the pedal it will start to lope like it has a hot cam. It also will lope if im in park and I just bump it off of idle it will lope for a little and then high idle like it should. I searched and found the loping thing might be air geting into the system from one of the lines fuel filter ect. for the idle up and down I read maybe it could be a broken top hat spring? any input would be great thanks Fred

Mine would actually drop below an idle when I let off sharply. Are you running Bio? I've been running regular ULSD with some conditioner. Seems the extra lubricity helps the sticky governor linkage.

Last night I took the pump top off and looked around. the Top has spring is fine my 366 spring looks like a 366 spring. there is just some thing that I am not catching could the start spring that they talk about in the ve operation be weak and causing a erratic idle and maybe a lope rite off of idle? Befor I took the pump top off I tried to adjust the idle and I almost backed the screw all the way out before obtaining a low enough idle then if i snaped the throttle it would rev back up to there it was and I would have to lightly move the throttle around to get it to go back down to idle.
