just came home for lunch, and turned the key and the bus started and seem to be holding an idle (like the choke is working now) I didn't do anything to it last night ....nothing (maybe it's possessed) when I get home after work, I'll crank it up and see if the idle holds at the stop sign, maybe I can take a spin it , feels like Germany out side right now with the weather. Stay tuned, Trey On 12/4/06, Chuck Blue <sukchew@xxxxxxx> wrote:
The choke heater cover is held in place by the three screws and a ring clamp.There should be a reference mark on the choke heater cover and on the carb body.If you line up the marks the fast idle cam should cause the engine to idle faster and the fast idle adjustment screw should be on the part of the cam that would cause the throttle to be partly open. As the heater coil heats up the fast idle cam lever should start to unwind and the engine idle to slow down.If the choke heater is functional the heater cover should be hot after the engine has been ran for a few minutes or when the ignition is on. I hope this helps a little. ole blue ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Trey Jung <treyjung@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *Sent:* Monday, December 04, 2006 7:45 PM *Subject:* [tcb] Bus acting up tonight.................help Jumped in the bus tonight to enjoy a nice ride. it started up but had a rough idle, had to keep the gas pedal down some to keep the idle. Drving out of the neighborhood it would die at the stop signs. Would not hold an idle at all. had to come back home and vent. It ran fine last week Seems the fast idle isn't working. or engaging if that;s possible.. 1600 DP with new Pict 34.... Any ideas? Could the choke be shot? Trey
