Wind the idle screw in :) Ideally try and get it to idle between 500-1000 rpm i believe, about 800 is good iirc but i may be wrong :) I havent got a picture, but the idle screw is the one that the butterfly 'arm' rests on, does that make sense? Thomas...............

idle problem was a vaccum hose that had come off as the clips are missing, not too bad now.
also, you should have seen the state of the exhaust :lol: just spend 5 hours trying to sort it and its still blowing a little!
