Have you messed with the idle screw to try and lower the revs?

I thought it was 2 and a half turns but i might be wrong too Rob:laugh:

[Liam]

[modfather]

liam do you have a haynes manual

[Liam]

i dont but i think a mate of mine does.. so i could ask him if he still has it.. have been told from previous owner it has group A carb and a different cam but im not sure. i have stripped carb down everything looks ok having also playyed with the mixture and idle screw i thort i could sort it but i cant seem to i am currently a training mechanic but eveyone at work i speak to says dunno i have asked at the college i train at and they also say dunno so running out of ideas

So did he adjust just the mixture screw? or the mixture and idle screw?

Sorry you just posted as i posted. Could be the acc pump jet letting fuel trickle down on idle. tTake the carb top off and see if the brass nozzle on the side of the venturi is trickling fuel. It shouldnt be leaking on idle.

[Liam]

both :confused:
