Can I get this one dad??  Group: Members Posts: 1,190 Joined: 11-August 07 From: Palmetto, FL Member No.: 7,987 Region Association: None  |
I've been driving the teener into work all this week since their is snow on the ground and not really conducive to riding my motorcycle in. Well, I noticed that the idle seems really high, reving around 2500 to 3000 when I pull in the clutch.
As I get onto post I pull into a parking space near the gym, parking on Patch Barracks is a bit of a problem, pull the E-brake, pop her into neutral and pop the engine lid. Time to see what the issue is, I'm thinking throttle cable is getting stuck. As I do a precursor inspection a guy walks up onto my right side and kinda stands their and watches, his car was parked on the right side of mine. My car is reving really high at this point. I finally shut her off, will mess with it when I get home tonight, and comment that I need to adjust the idle to the guy. Too which he replies, 'can you do that? Is that one of those new cars with all the electronic stuff?' 'uhh no, it's a 1971 Porsche 914 with dual carburators; I can adjust them.' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So, how many of you have had someone think that your teener was a new car? Just curious. |

intake manifold could be leaking air too, just thinking on your original issue. Cable maybe?

Yeah, I got home and did some checking, it looks to be the cable, it isn't allowing the throttle linkage to go fully back to normal after I let off the gas. I will work on adjusting it this weekend. |
