This is NOT a major worry for me, just a puzzle I'd like
solved.
I installed the Ratco cable carb throttle linkage last
January 2008. Once I got my gas pedal adjusted the Ratco was very responsive. I liked it a lot. Still do, in fact.
But it was curious to me that my warm engine idle increased
800RPM to 1200+ RPM with the Ratco system.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
fast forward: Today I installed Jeff Palya's brand spanking
new carb linkage, took out the Ratco, cleaned up the Ratco and reinstalled and fine tuned it.
Started the car and warm idle at 700 RPM. Gas pedal response with the Ratco is instant!! VROOM!!!!! WOW! I Like it.
Within a few minutes in the street my warm idle is back up at
1200+ rpm. If I take down the idle screws, the car will not hold cold idle with full choke. Stalls out.
What the deveil is going on?? Why the higher warm idle with the Ratco? Here's a photo of my install. Errors present?
thanks,
