Duffy, I believe there might be a little confusion here. Increase the idle with your foot on the accelerator not adjusting the idle speed at the carb. When you increase your revs (with your foot or by pulling on the carb. linkage), your amps shouldn't register over 8 amps. It is common to register at 0 or a little below when idling. You shouldn't register 8 amps when idling.
