Hi ya
Looking for a bit of help if some one can be kind enough to help me i would appreciate it.
I have a acme team infinaty 18 engine in my cyclone. the problem i have is setting the idle.
First i have set the carb high speed needle flush to edges then screwed it in 1 and a half turns,
Then i set the low speed needle flush to edges.
I then took the air filter out and set the idle screw so the carb cap was approx 1mm.
I then started the car which started very well but idles quite high and done the fuel line pinch test, the engine cut out straight away so i asumed the low speed needle was too lean so i richened it up a tad and now it revs a little before cutting out.
Now as far as i am aware the low speed needle is set correctly.
When running and putting it to idle the car does not stop moving and the revs seem quite high. Altering the idle screw seems to make no difference even with the carb fully closed it still revs high.
On the odd ocasion when it does idle low enough so the car does not move you can leave it idleing for a few seconds then it will take off on its own and i mean take off without even touching the contol or opening the throttle.
All advise welcome and appreciated
Many thanks
