idle stalling

[oli_quick]

Had my Cerb for two weeks now - already done 600 miles ;P. Found it wonderful so far, great drive can see why it encourages such a devoted following.

Encountered an issue this weekend, after a 100 mile motorway/A-road journey got out for about an hour, then when I came to reignite I experienced issues with the idling. Basically after ignition, with my foot a little on the gas, I would lift off and the revs would drop and eventually stall.

I first thought it could be an immobiliser issue, thinking maybe the immobiliser controlled the ECU choking. But after it happened 3 times I concluded that I should not have even been able to start the engine.

Anyone experienced this before - it did work eventually after a little wait.

Could be fuel evaporation on these hot days?

Have a look at this thread where this has been discussed already, I am having similar problems myself.

I had problems with mine stalling when warm, when restarting after it had been stood for 10 mins or so. I adjusted the idle to around 950. Was about 800/850. Did the trick.

Mr Kojak, thanks for the advice

not being too familiar with the Cerb - did u do this just by adjusting the throttle cable...or did you do some clever things with the ECU?

whilst I mention those pesky silcon chips...how does one attach a pc to a Cerb, is there a port? Has someone written - or got access to software etc?

Its just a small allen key/lock nut that needs slightly altering. The throttle bar stops/rests on it. If you alter it outwards, then it basically keeping the throttle open more.

(I'll be impressed if you understood what I mean)
