Thanks Guys for the idea's. First thing there isnt a brake booster on our ute.

When I got home from work I let it run a while untill hot. first thing I didnt know which way to turn , so I screwd it clockwise, but of course it slowed and died. Im guessing that when I did that it cut off more fuel getting by ??

So I went the other way almost all the way out then back in again untill it ran smooth and with a few more RPM, but not to much ( I wish it had a tacho !! ) Just for info what is the hot idle speed ment to be, about 6oo RPM isnt it ?? Oh I think someone said that already.

I also had alook at vac hoses and sprayed some WD-40 across the intake manifold etc , blew out air filter, yes from inside out and sprayed some carb cleaner while I was pokeing around.

And that seams to have fixed it !!

Oh by the way whats the deal with the vac advance on the distertor ?? how are you ment to check it ?? I pulled the hose off when running and I think it slowd a little and there was a little "suck" from he carb end of the hose. Put it back and the engine went up a few RPM, does this souind right, please let us know because I havent a bloody clue on this one.

But its fine for now , but I will see whats it like in the morning etc.

Regards & Thanks heaps
