there is an idle up solenoid on the factory automatic carb, so that the carb idles up when you put it in gear. It is no different than the AC idel up dashpots they sell for weber carbs so the idle goes up when you turn on the AC.
Its not that he is lying to you or is a dumbass or anything, he just doesnt know. Most guys familiar with V8's remember vacuum kickdown cables for auto trans and dont realize the mazda trans doesnt have that.
I had an automatic trans b2200 with a weber carb, worked great.
