Have you checked the lengths of the control rods? There are specific lengths for the rod that goes from the throttle body to the relay lever, and the rod that goes down from the relay to back of the IP (lever on the governor housing).

Thanks for the quick reply.
- I fiddled with the screw and its at its lowest. Even if i take the screw and lock nut completely, there is no change.
- Yes, i checked the lengths of the rods as per the FSM. But will double check in the morning.
- Video of the engine starting and running, can see the high idle and smoke - https://youtu.be/efC09R-Rm40
