So I changed the waxstat and all the vacuume hoeses, as well as using good old carb cleaner and cleaning it all out, and I must say that its so much better. Idles correctly, and when I put my foot down it pulls away so much better. Its so much more responsive. I am so so pleased with the results of todays efforts!
Sp.? Have you had a celebratory drink or two? Or maybe one or two 'e's? If not, get on it. Well done.
