Chimera 500 - sometimes idles to quick

[Chimera500]

Hi all

New owner here - just picked up my Chimera 500 last week.

Just noticed today that sometimes as i come off the gas it ticks over at aorund 2k - sometimes a quick blip brings it back down to normal - 1k sometimes it just slosly drops back down itself...

Any ideas what is causing this?

Thanks in advance

Stepper will take you about 25 mins to do. If you are new to these cars it might be worth getting a copy of Steve Heaths book on them

Had the same thing on mine last year after winter lay up, oiled the cable/linkages on the pedal, problem cured.
Enjoy.
