Re: rough idling

Post by kam09 »

Hi,

I did some adjustments to the revs/throttle speed dropped it quite low.

heres the thing...it smokes less now :? but at times it feels as though it wants to conk out? it displays the battery light but when i dab the throttle it goes again?

im in need of a car for the next few weeks so i need the car running ok enough


Thanks in advance!

Make sure the idle jet is clean too. Clean & gap plugs and then set mixture and idle.
