I had exactly similar problems with my RP saloon. In fact I started a thread on this called 'Carburettor Problems'. The last post on that thread was 20th April this year, so a perusal of that thread may assist.
Ruairidh Dunford put me on the right track when he explained that there are two types of 26VA carb, and, if you get the wrong float chamber with the wrong carb body, then you can get an intractably fast tickover.
Once I had built a carb with matching body and float chamber, the problem was solved, and my car now ticks over at about 500 rpm hot.
