Adjusting Idle Speed on a Speed Six Engine

[anonymous-user]

Morning all,

Does anyone know how to adjust the idle speed on a Speed6 engine? Every few months or so it drops on mine a little and means a 2 hour round trip to the dealers to get it up'd again.

Last time I saw the mechanic just use a screwdriver somewhere on the top of the engine. I know you should really analyse air/fuel mixture rates etc on the laptop but I only need to push it up by 100rpm so it should be OK.

(I'll take it to a specialist if I start getting problems.)

NB - It's a Cerbera Speed Six.

Thanks for any help.

The garage definitely just used a screwdriver somewhere on the top of the engine....took about 30 seconds to do.

The speed 6 uses a nut with an allen keyed screw. Just release the nut ( can't remember size about 8-10mm) and screw the idle up with the allen key. Retighten the nut to lock in place ensuring the screw stop doesn't move. When hot set to about 900rpm. That should give you apprx 700rpm when cold

Cheers guys , should save me a trip to the dealers to get robbed.

Maybe pushing my luck now, but I don't suppose any of you are flash enough to own a digital camera and could post a piccy?

Knowing my luck I'll turn the wrong screw and the engine will fall out the bottom of the car.

Nice one, I'll take a look at lunchtime.
