Howdy, Im going to throw a bunch at you all at once.
I have just started to experience a return to idle problem with my 74 2.0 Djet. It runs ok, but when I stop and the engine returns to idle, it nearly dies. If it does stay running, the idle is surging. I have experimented with just pushing in the clutch and not downshifting and the engine nearly dies. Even if I downshift to gradually bring down the rpm, once it is in the idle range, it starts surging and nearly dies. I just reciently installed a new flywheel, clutch and pressure plate and adjusted the valves and did an oil change, but doubt that any of that would be a problem. But as an interesting side note, I did not weigh the new replacement flywheel; I know the one it replaced was a lightened unit. I have now noticed that the motor feels sluggish and does not rev as quickly as it did with the old lightened flywheel. Do you think that now it is spinning a heaver flywheel it is exposing a problem that a light flywheel covered-up? Any ideas where to start? |

It feels more sluggish because you have a stock weight flywheel rather then a light one.
The heavier flywheel should make it run smoother, not rougher. Zach |
