Title: weber idle
Post by: Haribo! on 13 January 2006, 20:34

wheres the idle adjustment on a weber? its the replacent for a 1600, i found one screw on the right but i think thats the mixture as it doesnt appear to do much, i cant find the other one....

as u look at the engine, look at the front of the carb and there should be a quiet big screw/bolt with a spring on it, to the bottom left side, of the front, i think anti clockwise lowers the idle

also, not sure on the earth as webers have no electrical connection, allthough i did attach one between the carb and a rocker cover nut

if i had the idle screw out too far would my car run sh!t, obviously not idleing but when driving along in gear? cause i fiddled with that screw and its now its really spluttery and wont idle and when driving along its jumpy,
