    Thermoquad curb idle solinoid hangs up

    OK, got fast idle set right and set curb idle with solinoid.. However when I hit the gas engine revs up off the pedal and doesn’t drop. The plunger doesn’t retract automatically have to pop with screwdriver to release. What’s up? Choke issue ? I’m baffled.
