As I recall, in the days when your new car needed running in, the carbs were set rich at the factory and the idle was rather on the fast side to compensate for the tightness of a brand new engine, One of the operations at the first service (usually at either 500 or 1000 miles depending on the manufacturer) was to check the timing and reset the carb.
In the instant case, I had to quicken the idle setting and richen the mixture by about an eighth of a turn. The adjustments are now back to where they were previously.
