Re: [DML] Idle speed motor

["graham WELLS" <gwells@xxxx>]

It is a while ago that I had my idlespeed motor off for testing, but my
recollection is that it was effectively like a rotary solenoid in that
if there was no power it retuned to it's rest position. Not like a servo
motor if my memory of servo motors is correct. Mind you my memory is
sometimes a bit suspect !
