High Idle Speed

Post by bluecraig0776 »

Haven't had a proper look yet but my Major seems to be idling quite high and was wondering how to adjust it? Haven't looked at throttle linkage etc yet just thought I'd ask on here first.

mine did this, turned out the exhaust was loose and was letting air in the inlet manifold causing it to suck more air and idle faster, tightened them up and fixed it.
