Wierd idle! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When my truck is cold it idles fine, between 700-800 rpm's. After the truck is warm and driven, the idle speeds up to about 1000-1100 rpms. The key is it has to be driven for the rpm's to kick up. If I just let it idle to warm up the rpm's stay fine. It's a 350/4 speed with a Holley 650 mechanic choke, nothing but the fuel line, choke cable, and linkage are attached to the carb. I don't use the choke when it's cold, I just feather it until it runs. Does it soulnd like a carb issue or a timing issue?
