Idle adj. FI

Post by tima01864 »

Every procedure that I have read states, adjust idle at throttle stop to 800-900 rpm with idle speed adj screw all the way in. Then adjust idle speed screw to 800-9oo rpm. Not making sense if idle has been set with throttle stop. Do I start backing off the screw until idle speed changes?

Been playing with the idle and the electronic throttle. is having an effect, reading some old threads addressing this too. No air leaks apparent, checked the o-ring and sprayed some carb cleaner in the hole. Next check the timing and adjust those valves.

Adjust idle with the cable, with the air screw fully closed. Then add another 100 rpm by opening the idle screw.
