Petrol or diesel?

Follow the accelerator rods to the carb & find the arm on the carb which opens it up. There should be a spring loaded screw stop which you wind in a turn to prevent the arm from closing the carb

If that dont work, you might need to adjust the air/fuel mixture screw. First gently.screw it all the way in, not tight, then screw it back out about two and a half turns. That'll get you in the right ballpark, after that fine tune the mixture by.turning the screw a quarter of a turn either way.

I did this today and it’s solved the idling issue. But it smells a bit rich now, if that makes any sense?

Swap it for a diesel then you don’t need to mess around with carbs to get it to idle correctly

Unless anything goes out.
Mines been in the road for weeks after the rebuild and I’m still tweaking the life out of it.
At least you'll keep your teeth. And your hearing. And you'll do more than 30mph. And you won't be left feeling diseasedSwap it for a diesel then you don’t need to mess around with carbs to get it to idle correctly
