Re: [DML] Idle problem

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why have you set the idle so high? If you're idling it manually, you
can pick fairly precisely whatever RPM's you want.

Which idle method are you using -- brass manifold screws or cracked
throttle plates?

If you're using the manifold screws, replace their O rings. After 24
years they probably aren't sealing tightly (not an issue when the
brass tapers are fully seated).

In the latter days of my K Jetronic, and now with a carb sans throttle
lever solenoid, I have two manual idle settings -- winter time and
slightly higher in the summer to compensate for compressor load (about
100 extra RPM).
