From: "avdheide" <avdheide@kabelfoon.nl> Hi Martin, Since day one my idle is to high.(+/- 1200 rpm,has to be around 900 rpm) Governmental regulations require a lower idle rpm now;is there an easeyu = way to adjust idle,I cannot find a idle adjustment screw on the drawing = you got on your homepage. Tnx,Arjen The accelerator lever on top of the pump rests on a screw at idle. This is the one to adjust. If you have a newer (post 1986) pump you migh also check that the idle increase lever on the "inside" next to the block is not stuck. If it was stuck (for instance by something being lodged between the pump and block) you would get just the 1200 or so rpm idle you have now.
