Hi Dinky, I dunno what the revs are without looking but if I remember I'll have a look on my drive home tonight, but there's not any untoward engine noise though that's for sure. :(

No worries Dinky. I did remember to have a look at the revs too on the way home on Friday, I reckon, when driving steady and changing from 3rd to 4th I only hit about 1400 rpms, hope this helps. :)
-
Yeah thanx Gibby-just confirms that i do hav a problem! :-\ Mines goin way upto 3000 practically! :-\
One last thin hun,wots urs idle at? ;) Mines @750 but was thinkin of takin it up to 1000?

Dinky :-*
-
mine was on 750 rpm.seemed to be wandering a bit so i took it up to 900 rpm and it's fine now :)
-
mines idling at about 600rpm and sounds rough...
I would adjust it by my idling adjust screw is broke.. :'(
-
Mine is idling at an indicated 1200 rpm on the rev counter, but I will check it with the MFA later, however the idle screw is wound right down and it would appear that I cant reduce it any more. I think it is idling high then.
-
If you're idle screw is all the way in and you're still getting a high idle then unmetered air is being drawn..........in other words, you have a vacuum leak.

ooh dear- mine idles at 2000rpm- obviously too high....
may this be the cause of the high fuel consumpiton? Im still getting less than 200 miles to a tank.
-
Aye mate, miles too high is that and explains a lot if you are using a lot of fuel, you should be getting 300 miles and over for a full tank. On my rev counter there are two white markers, one above 1000 rpm mark and another below it, I guess they represent about 800 - 1200 rpm and the idle should be between these marks.
I had idle problems last year when it was sounding a bit rough and idling up and down about 800 rpm, the garage sorted it for me and they said that the mixture was running too rich, could be something for you to look at. :)
-
How do you alter the mixture on the fuel injector ?

I don't know matey, the garage I took it to sorted it out for me but the idle time was really bumpy and running about 800 rpm. Rich or mk1 will probably be able to answer that question though.
-
anyone?!
all help greatly appreciated ;D

The mixture is adjustable on a k jet, you will need a 5mm long allen key and the adjuster is on the housing between the metering unit and the rubber air pipe to the inlet manifold. There is a hole, fit your allen key down and locate it in the screw, adjustment is out for leaner and in for richer. Remove the key after each adjustment as the weight of it will alter the mixture. You should use a gas analyser to set it up, with practise you can get it close.
