Increasing Idle revs on Sagaris

[Rochester TVR]

Mine is running a bit low I think...

at the moment
550 - 600 when cold
700 - 750 when hot

I'd like to increase this to...
700 - 750 when cold
900 - 950 when hot

Are the proposed temps about right?

Should this job be done when hot or cold?

Does anyone have a picture showing exactly which screw controls all the throttle bodies?

Many Thanks
Lee

Careful though as it only needs a slight turn!!!

Lee,
Try this;

Engine Idle; Centre of air box under the fuel rail the lower grub screw of the two is the idle screw with a locknut on it, gently push against the spring to see the increase in idle revs. Firstly clean the airbox, pipes and throttle bodies as this can effect cold idle; Also make sure the aircon and heater fans are off before cold starting;

With engine stopped and cold loosen 8mm locknut and turn the grub screw anti-clockwise about a quarter turn, start engine and check idle rpm, set clockwise to 650-750 cold, this should be about 750-850rpm when hot, tighten locknut. I always switch the aircon off and heater fans before i stop the engine.

No photos on this one yet.

Hope this helps
