Been having a quite bad idle problem. I was using a sealant on the stepper motor. Changed to PTFE tape as the sealant was spacing out the motor a tad, after a comment by Streaky I think? Then the connector to the air flow thingy on a hot wire was a tad slack so tightend up the connectors. Seems to have worked.

Question's. How does the stepper motor etc all control the idle? What does it do? And the screw in the plenum all fit together with the above? Is there a definitve description on how it all fits together?

There is also a screw detent under the throttle linkage. I assume this affects the throtle pot and its position (well obvious when you look at it) but how do you set it?

Cheers Ian. Part of your reply explains why I was getting problems when turning the fans on and stalling. Big load. It has stopped now. Fingers crossed.

Info much appreciated
