I may have to set my idle down slightly after they install the electronic ignition. Warm it is idling around 1500, 1600. These pictures look like throttle cable to me but I don't see any adjustment screw on this.

QUOTE(petlan55 @ Feb 1 2020, 09:44 AM)  If your idle speed has changed, it maybe the ignition timing base adjustment has advanced. The throttle blade adjustment did not change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That would be the first thing I would verify. Make sure your timing was set correctly after the change. I would then operate the throttle body manually with the cable disconnected. Check it see if it is closing all the way. If not, then your throttle body needs works. If so, then I would mess with idle adjustment. And of course if your throttle cable is too tight it can have an effect as well. |
