Idling Low....

Post by restonko »

Hi everyone,

I have a 1979 Spider 2000 Carb. Its idling really low, like below 500rpm. Just wondering which screw on the carb do i adjust to set the timing a bit higher. Pictures will be great :D

Thanks

Dang Reston, you asked this question 28 years too late. I could have helped you then, when I had a 79. :(

adjusting the carb won't affect the timing. The speed set screw is below the choke housing
