Been reading the post in the bible about fast idle issues.....
Mine appears to not have this problem, though it idles about 1100 RPM and only goes as low as about 1000.
Is this too high? when i pull the clutch out to take off without throttle, the front end lifts up a touch.
88 swb GQ on duel fuel, runs mostly gas.
How do i lower the idle?
What is normal TB42 on gas idle sposed to be??
cheers

Ok,
ive wound it down but while i was winding it down it stayed up...
until i punched the throttle and it went down to 300
too far, so bumped it up to about 650 like it says in the manuel....
it ends up idling at 750 in petrol and 650 on gas....
BUT, when i first start the rig and shes cooled off it idles at about 1100........ It doesnt slowly drop at all either.....
but after a certain amount of time if i punch the throttle it goes back down to 650 ish...
is this the auto choke? or fasst idle problem?

I had two petrols that did the same thing all you need to do is lean your choke off a bit so you will need to spin the choke housing clockwise but how much depends on the person driving the vehicle. so if you want to try this just loosen the three screws on the housing and spin it clockwise a little to start with and see where its ideling.

it only stays at a constant idle when i wind it up to 1100....
one minute its 600, then i rev her up and it holds 1000.....

Had 3 GQ duel fuellers, all had the same problem.
The white plastic auto choke cam causes this problem(as mentioned above).i could never fix this item properly.
My solution was to totally remove the plastic cam and wire the choke butterfly fully opened.
running on mainly gas this is not a problem, only cold starts on petrol takes a while to warm up to idel.
Cheers Grant.
