xflow running fast?

[jamie]

Hi all,

 

I just fired up my xflow after taking the coolant hoses off for a clean. I didn't mess with the throttle or choke connections. I also had the plug leads off...

 

When I last ran the engine it was ticking over at 900-1000rpm. Started it yesterday and the engine was "idling" at about 2500rpm with choke out. eek, so pushed choke in fully and it's still running at 1500rpm. OK, check throttle cable, it's returned to it's normal position. Throttle adjustment screw is ok too. Check choke, disconnected cable and let it return. All good.

 

But the engine still runs fast. I wouldn't have thought it could run OK before, disconnect and re-connect a few hoses and then run so fast.

I haven't touched the mixture as I had it set up and don't really want to touch it. Also checked I didn't leave a brick on the accelerator.

 

Bit of a chin strokign moment then. Any ideas?

 

Cheers

Ahh cheers, I'll check it now.

 

EDIT: by vacuum pipe do you mean the pipe from the dizzy to the carb? That is ok and the other pipes all seem ok.

have you loosened or moved the dizzy mate as that will affect it? sounds like a vacum pipe,did'nt you move the pipe back to the servo? has it sealed ok?
