3 Ensure that all electrical loads are switched
off and, where applicable, the choke is
pushed fully in; if the car does not have a
tachometer (rev counter), connect one to the
engine, following its manufacturer's
instructions. Note the idle speed, and
compare it with that specified.
4 The idle speed adjusting screw is situated
in various locations according to carburettor
type (see illustrations). It may be necessary
to remove a retaining clip and plastic cover to
gain access to the carburettor. Using a
suitable flat-bladed screwdriver, turn the idle
speed screw in or out as necessary to obtain
the specified idling speed as given in the
Specifications.
5 If the idle mixture CO content is not to be
adjusted, switch off the engine, disconnect
any instruments and refit all disturbed
components.

6 On twin carburettor installations, it is
necessary to balance the carburettors so that
the airflow through both is the same before
adjusting the idling speed. To do this a
vacuum gauge or carburettor synchronising
tool will be required.
7 Ensure that all electrical loads are switched
off and, where applicable, the choke is
pushed fully in; if the car does not have a
tachometer (rev counter), connect one to the
engine, following its manufacturer's
instructions. Note the idle speed, and
compare it with that specified.
8 Remove the air cleaner assembly as
described in Chapter 4A.
9 If a vacuum gauge is being used,
disconnect the vacuum pipe and connect the
gauge to the vacuum pipe stub on the left-
hand carburettor (see illustrations).
