Have a look where your throttle cable attaches to the carb. Behind that point you will see a screw that rests on the idle cam/rod. Adjust this. It's a bastard to get to, and you will need to turn the engine off to adjust it. Turn it about a 1/4 turn at a time until it is right. The idle screw is labelled as 185 in the attache image.



Can I swap my 10 points for a virtual pint
