Low idling

When i start my van It idles pretty low .... I don't have an idea of what this is as I dont have a Rev counter - just wondering if you guys had an idea of what i need to look at first to increase this a little

Thanks

 

ahhh twin webber carb - what difference will this make?

 

you have twin webers??

they don't have chokes, hence the low idle

 

So is there nothing I can do to increase this slightly?

sometimes it starts & chugs along for 5 mins then may conk out as it has low idling

 

What does it idle like when it's hot?

 

Try 1/4-1/2 turn on the stop screws. Whatever you do to one, do the same to the other.

 

I'm new to this game.... anyone fancy helping/showing me how it's done?

i'll be at Malvern on 7-9th Sept at busfest

 

Hi mate I've had this with my bus. It's worth checking all the rubber hoses that fit on the balance pipes between the carbs. Does it run and accelerate well or is it just a little bit sluggish. Have a look down through the engine hatch to get a good view of the rubber pipes and give them a feel to make sure their not split anywhere.

 

Sandy... twin webers - not std carbs, so no balance pipes
