Title: Fueling question (slightly different)
Post by: zagarus on May 15, 2006, 06:29:38 pm

well i increased my fueling a bit more today to the point where i pretty much can't use my advance timing choke.  My idle sits at around 1150-1250 when warm, and thats with it adjusted to be as low as possible.  Now im just worried cause it takes my car a bit to start up without the choke, and i dont want that.  Any ideas how i can get it to be functional again?

You can bring it down further by relocating the throttle lever on the splined shaft.Mark your spot and rotate clockwise.

on a mk3 ( not sure about mk2 )  you can adjust the throttle cable via plastic adjustment thingy on the pump. this allows for more negative travel in cable so you can set the residual fuel pin ( the bolt behind pump that the throttle lever rests on ) to a lower setting.

this solved my high idle and the advance lever still worked perfect.
