It’s still not running like i want - 500rpm increasing to 700rpm

Maybe I need to tweak the fuelling?!

Found a random manifold stud in the air inlet

Gave the air inlet float a clean too

I think it’s potentially fuel but unsure

P.s. now the engine seems to be running a little less lumpy, I’m wondering if I should adjust anything else

Car starts v well but I’m running at just over 500rpm rising to 700rpm a minute later.

Idle speed valve doesn’t seem to do much tbh until I literally stall the engine with it.

Not sure I should try and do the timing - struggling to see the timing marks and don’t think the flywheel is correctly mounted - maybe I’m being dim! Plus the distributor seems pretty firmly oxidised in place and doesn’t look like it’s ever moved. So should I tweak the fuel air mix?

On the k-jet it’s the allan key - mine is covered by a little blue plug so if need to take this off - but is it worth it?

Thanks - settles better now after a few days

I’ve cleaned the “points” and I’ll swap out the coil tomorrow

Quick swap out of the coil today - just as good Eng practice

Only took 10 mins and was only £20

Disconnect battery first of course

Next Q - poly bushes or OEM?

Was gonna just go for the full kit of poly but they are expensive!

Thoughts?
