Idle speed 140-160 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be David Eisenberg on  Mon Nov 6 03:27 CST 2006 [RELATED]

This past summer I replaced the mechanical air slide on my 164E with an electrical model from a 240. I did this because the idle speed would not go below 12-1300. Worked like a charm. Idle speed settled at 850-900RPM.

Now that the weather has turned cool (40-50F), the idle speed declines over a period of about 10 minutes but only to about 1100 vs the 850-900 during warm weather. What could account for this. Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
