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:

Thanks in advance! (TIA)

Dave in KC 85 Westy
