I have a pair of HIF's on a 76B. They''ve been excellent and dependable
since I put them on last Spring but with a problem and I am still
sufficiently a novice that an answer to my question is not obvious to me by
just reading Haynes or Bentley or a few other pieces of literature. (The
mechanics is one thing. The functioning is another. I have a feeling that
with the number of listers who are discussing esoteric aspects of engines
and racing and tuning, I might be stepping into a pile.) Still....
Last year I was perfectly happy to let the B idle at 1300 because the car
ran great. I knew that was high but since the car ran flawless with this
one qualm, I put up with it. I won't this year.
Is there a simple adjustment to reduce the idle rmp or do I have to do a
complete tune-up? Even now it is running great after wintering over
despite a few jaunts when the temperature reached >30F. Still, 1300 rpm is
too damn high.
