[DML] Re: Slightly high idle when warm

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

This is a symptom of a malfunctioning vacuum switch for the vacuum 
advance. Vacuum is supposed to be OFF at idle. Check for proper 
function and correct hose routing to/from thermo vacuum switch, warm-
up regulator, and vacuum advance switch. There are several other 
possibilities too including the idle speed motor and associated 
electrics of the activating switch, proper throttle valve 
adjustment, linkage adjustments, and the main idle screw could be 
open (it should be closed).
