Idle Speed

Postby Dave1971 » Mon Sep 06, 2010 6:03 pm

How easy is it to setup the idle speed without using the equipment MUT-II if it can be done, mine appears to be idling around 1100 when it should be around 750rpm.

I can but it will only go as low as 1000rpm, if you turn the screw too far it makes the throttle stick unless you know of another way.

Throttle position sensor positioned incorrectly perhaps?
