<< My '72 B has a condition I can't figure out. When idling in neutral and
the
clutch pedal is depressed the idle rpms drop.......release the pedal and the
rpms come back up......darned if I can figure it out.....but I'm not to
smart
..any ideas?
Thanks in advance >>
I'm not much of a wizard at these things either, but I do know that when you
depress the clutch, you're engaging the throwout bearing, thus causing a
little extra strain on the engine due to the friction of the bearing. My
idle drops a little, but not much. Whether yours drops too much for any
other reason besides the bearing, I wouldn't be able to explain. Normally if
the bearing is going bad, you'll hear it. Someone else will probably be able
to explain this better than me.
