At the weekend I advanced the timing somewhat on my TR6, and it runs a lot better.
As a side effect it also increased the idle speed, I tried adjusting the throttle stop scres out to compensate and get the idle back below 1000 RPM but to no avail, even with the screws right out it still wants to idle at about 1100 RPM..
The throttle linkage up to the throttle shafts is definitely not hanging up so I've come to the conclusion it's a problem in the throttle shafts themselves or else the throttle plates inside hanging up on something. The return springs seem strong enough. The car only has 52000 original miles on it.
Any ideas out there?
