waterhouses Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi all Nothing major (fingers crossed) my 6 revs fine but the return to tickover speed is slow, what do I need to do? Also following a run sometimes the car ticks over at c 1250 - a few blips brings it down again??? Regards Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Knight Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Usually worn spindles and pivots in throttle the bodies. Replacement spindles were rare and expensive, I even think one of the three was un-available. You also needed to bush the bodies. I get by using an extra spring ( or two ) on the front spindle, but this makes the pedal stiffer. Perhaps bushes with a rubber O ring - anything to stop air being drawn in via the spindles - PTFE tape !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve suggested amongst other things fitting 'extra springs' to the spindle. I checked this out - mine was springless so fitted a spring and hey presto perfect idle. Just the stuck bonnet to sort now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
