daverclasper Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Thanks Johny. I think I understand. Idling/slow moving traffic for long periods, on very hot days and the stat will be constantly, fully open anyway, regardless of its spec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 dave if you get wooly running when in traffic with a mechanical fan then it points its set too rich its all designed to run at 82c there is no summer winter spec but based on overall climate make the engine run at 78c the cooler spec and you will need to richen it more which wont help ypur problem i would lean her off and raise the idle a bit as a first step Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Thanks Pete. Weather will be cooler now anyway. Will bear in mind for next summer. Idle is set pretty low at around 600rpm, so will up it and lean off mixture a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
