adjusting idle

[jimbob2]

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the idel on the cerb 4.2 - mines idling at around 500 revs - its shaking out my fillings when I'm waiting at the lights!!!

There is a screw at the back of the offside bank, where the throttle arm is. Just screw it out a bit whilst the engine is running until you get it right. You will need to remove the engine cover to get to it, just undo the 2 allen bolts and washer jet pipes.

Hope that makes sense,

and the bolts on the bonnet catches, if your Cerb is anything like mine.

which it probably won't be, as yours is weird.

Best to get a dealer/indie to do this - adjusting the idle screw will change the throttle pot settings/air fuel mix.

Yeah, I wondered about this myself. But surely its just the same as putting a bit of pressure on the accelerator with your foot, and keeping the revs a bit higher? How does it adjust the throttle pot settings???

All done - idle now at aboy 1000rpm - OK, its a bit higher than it should be, but its stopping me stalling until I get the throttles balanced up. If anyone has the software I need to do this, please please please send it to me by Instant Messenger is something on [e-mail].

We are ALL indies when it comes to tinkering!!!
