On my 83 watercooled 1.9L digijet FI throttle assembly are two switches; one for throttle closed (idle) another for full throttle. What do these switches actually do to the fuel system when activated? The throttle closed idle switch on mine is essentially out of the circuit. It appears that it is intended to be activated/closed when the throttle is closed, however at idle with this switch closed I get surging--back the adjuster screw out so the switch is no activated and it idles OK. This seems backwards to me as in order for the engine to idle the switch is noit activated, nor is it activated when accelerating. Thanks for your wisdom! |
