[DML] Re: High Idle Followup & Thanks

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the interim Woody could idle his engine manually. I know this is
not a popular option in the DeLorean community, but it's a perfectly
valid use of the brass screws already in place. FWIW: A/C compressor
load doesn't seem to be an issue -- never needed the aux air valve for
it when I ran my K Jetronic manually, and I've never added an A/C
solenoid to my current carb. Warm up is the only difficult time.
Throttle plates/deceleration valves will of course need to close
properly (unless he decides to idle his engine by cracking them in
lieu of brass screws).

Don't think vacuum leaks are Woody's problem. Usually those cause
decreased or erratic idle speed from unmetered air, unless mixture is
cranked way up to compensate (which then kills fuel economy on the road).
