<< Hi Folks,
After seven long years of looking, I've finally become the proud owner of a
shiny red TR3A. As you can imagine, I'm really enjoying working on it and
driving it around.
One of the things that has me stumped is the idle speed. It doesn't want
to idle below 900 rpm. A slight backing off on the idle screw(s) and the
revs drop immediately to zero and the engine dies. When driving around and
coming to a stop, there's a 50/50 chance that it will cut out on me. I can
prevent this by pulling out the choke, if I see the revs are dropping too
fast. >>
Check the float valves. That's all I can think of. BTW what is so intolerable
about 900 rpm idle? Are you that confident of the tach reading?
G'luck
