Default Q-jet not staying on high idle

Carb works great, all rebuilt , everything appears to be adjusted and seems spot on ....however...

When cold and I tap the pedal it steps up to the high idle cam, but if I hold the throttle part open as I start the engine as soon as she fires and I take my foot off the pedal it drops to curb idle.

If I manually move the throttle at the carb when cold, I can see it all work as it should. So I'm confused.

I can also take my finger and with the engine off and with light pressure on the top of the cam weight I can pop it down off the fast idle screw . Should I be able to do that?

Thanks
