Hey Guys.
I'm working on a friend's '87 westy that had a bad oil breather line (HUGE
hole in it) and he said before "It wouldn't idle well so i unplugged
something and set it by hand". I have no idea what it is he's refering too
as everything was plugged in and it did idle and drive pretty well up untill
i put a new breather line on it. Now it stumbles quite a bit at idle and
even into the RPM band untill it's warmed up. Once it's warmed up
(thermostat open) it will respond well to slow throttle changes, but if you
give it a quick "blip" from idle it will caugh out.
I am guessing this is a sign of a bad Idle Regulator? The massive vaccuum
leak it had before is now gone and some system was in tune with the vaccuum
leak (odly enough).
What do you guys think? Any opinion is appreciated.
