Idle adjustment?

[marksgarage2]

My idle is too low and I use the hand throttle cable to adjust it. Where do you adjust it at? Thanks

Right on top of the rack lever there is a nut and a screw. the nut locks the screw which is the idle screw. Minute adjustments make big changes.

You folks are the best. Honest. Sharing knowledge like this is WHY I come here every day.

That and I don't actually have a real life, so I can 'hang out' with people of like interests without ever leaving the comfort of my home.

THX for giving people like me a place to just hang out. jim

Of course you have a life. We are your life! Extended family maybe, although there are probably a few you wouldn't want to claim as close relatives.........

Just for curiosity sakes, what is the correct idle rpm on the multifuel?

Is is different for turbo and N/A?

 

[marksgarage2]

I think Kenny posted 800. Thats what I am setting mine at. Going to do that right now as well as turning up my fuel 1 turn. Will post the results.

How do you turn the fuel up?Need to turn mine up a little.

first off yes it is different for turbo and N/A
N/A idle is 650-700 rpm
turbo idle is 650-770 and the manual say's to
"Refer to injection pump identification plate for correct idle speed setting"

my turbo is set at 700

Just got back from my roadtest. Turned up the fuel a turn and a half and the idle to 800. Alot more bottom end and throttle response than before. By the way, I saw no loss in power going from a D turbo to a C turbo. Also the truck holds highway speeds better and really pulls on the hills at 55 mph. Very happy with my adjustments so far. Thanks for everyones help. Mark

did you do complete turns or flats?

 

[marksgarage2]

I went one full turn and a half. A little black smoke when I hit the gas but no smoke will cruising 55 mph.

Another good reason to keep the idle up a bit is headlights. The harmonics produced in the 600 to 750 range are heck in headlight filaments and these aren't cheap headlights.

 

[marksgarage2]

My idle was at 650 before the adjustments and is alot smoother now at 800.

Mark- Just watch your exhaust temps! You really need a pyrometer! I am going to turn mine up some, but the pyro comes first. I don't want to cook a piston.

 

[marksgarage2]

I agree Robert. I plan to pull the turbo this week and do my pyro gauge install.
