My '74 1.8 normally runs beautifully but with our present 90 degree F ambient temps it runs hot and won't idle.
Temp gauge is just short of the red zone. (Next time I will get NHS to put numbers on the gauges.) Thermostat works - checked with hot air gun. Flaps are opening Warm air guides installed Tried enriching idle mixture by screwing in air bypass screw to max - no effect Would appreciate help from the brains trust Thanks David Brisbane, Australia |

Looks like it's fixed
A very talented friend of mine identified a loose oil filler cap as an air leak. Tightening the cap lifted the idle and it just needed a little back off on the idle air bypass screw and it is idling quite sweetly Many thanks for all the advice offered |
