KJet Idle ... How to adjust?
So I have recently solved my issues with my new to me 240. After changing in-tank pump, fuel pump relay, new leads/plugs/cap and rotor. Checked all filters etc the engine now starts first time and runs nice and smooth.
The only issue now is the idle is running high, I have a feeling it may have been adjusted in the past to counteract the fueling issues. I am not sure how to adjust it, the Haynes manual is a little.... over complicated. I would say it's currently running about 1200rpm, so how do I reduce this guys? I did have a search on here, but couldn't find what I needed. Thanks Last edited by Big 240; Dec 6th, 2022 at 10:24. |

The idle turn screw is a largish black plastic one just under the throttle body:~
Turned by hand up to slow down for faster: Picture may help- highlighted in yellow. Regards Bob. |
