Re: Idle speed motor and micro swich?..

One way to make sure the idle micro is adjusted correctly AND 
functioning is to remove the wires going to it (make a sketch or just 
try to remember which wires go where) and hook a meter to the 
terminals of the switch. Set the meter on continuity or a low 
resistance scale and at idle it should read closed. Now rotate the 
throttle spool and the switch should open. When you release the 
throttle spool the switch should consistantly read closed. When you 
are done hook the wires back up. Do this with the motor OFF.
