B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 When coming to a stop or every time? If you are cruising on the higway at 100kph and press it in does it stall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 How does it idle if you're not on the clutch & its just sitting in neutral? Any different warm or cold? What happens if its idling and you turn the headlights on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokie168 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 it idles okay even when it neutral. If I step on the clutch to go for 1st gear or just simply stepping on the clutch idle goes down as well as rpm. turning headlights will cause idle to go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokie168 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 it doesn't. this just happens when it is on neutral or going to a full stop When coming to a stop or every time? If you are cruising on the higway at 100kph and press it in does it stall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Richen the idle screw slightly. Headlights and clutch both load the motor and without a rich enough idle mixture it just dies. The SUs are the same, I have them idling lean but then they struggle to idle with the headlights on at night and if it is at all cold it dies. Seeing I don't go out at night it doesn't worry me.

lokie168 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 will it go clockwise or counter clokwise to richen the mixture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Clockwise for lean as I recall, out for rich. Get the motor up for full operating temp, let it idle and listen to it under the bonnet. Then screw the ide mixture screw in 1/4 turn and see if it changes the idle speed. Then out 1/4turn to where it was, then out another 1/4 turn and see what it does. What you're looking for is the fastest, smoothest idle speed you can get without touching the throttle stop screw. Usually as far in as it will go to give the fastest idle, then 1/4 turn out. That's because the falloff in speed is faster screwing in than out and easier to pick. Working in 1/4 turns is handy to count, or 1/2 turns, and enough to make a difference. If you get lost with it, screw it gently in as far as it will go, then out one and a half turns, that's the usual starting point. After that just go in until it falters and back out until it falters, and then between those two points will be the best idle. You can set the actual idle speed you want with the throttle stop screw afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
