Re: [doc] re idle problems

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

thanx for the post.

must admit. haven't tried this but perhaps will as if it then idles 
ok, my problem is definately the wiring or something.

just looked at the wiring diagram and will check all the wire, diode 
etc with a meter.
i used to do some electronics years ago so not completely in the 
dark.

by the way i don't mind all this too much as its all part of 
restoring and getting another car on the road. am looking forward to 
driving her though.
i really want that MOT by next spring.

Regards

Steve
