Late versions ('85s) have the combined switch underneath the throttle body, but I don't see that either. MAybe the cable goes to a cobbled up switch and they just bailed on the WOT switch? Jay

Yeah, that is not what I have either. It is rotated left 90 deg from what I have. >>> Jay L Snyder <Jay.L.Snyder@USA.DUPONT.COM> 08/28/02 11:46AM >>> What the heck is that cable coming across the top?

Hmmm... Bentley shows several variations on the throttle valve switch. The text indicates that a faulty switch or improper adjustment can cause the irregular idle that I'm experiencing. Problem is, I can't find it! I see NO electrical connections anywhere near the throttle body nor do I see the adjustment plate or the switch itself! Can anyone help? It's a 1985 1.9 L Westy Weekender. I have posted photos of the throttle mechanism from two different angles at the following link: http://members.fortunecity.com/davebaker1/westy/id27.htm Thanks in advance! (TIA) Dave in KC 85 Westy |
