idle speed adjustment on a green top
How do i pick the idle speed up a bit on my car its a j plate green top on most other cossie engines they have a idle screw on the throttle body. But this one does'nt seem to have one. There must be some adjustment somewhere surely

Testing the future
as you say, there should be 2 ways to adjust the throttle.
the first is to set the plate angle at rest with a screw, and then there is a tapered bypass screw to let air past the throttle plate. these should be set with the ngine up to running temperature, but no electrical load on it (fans not running etc) and the ISCV unplugged
then of course, the Idle Speed Control Valve should do it's stuff when the engine is cold and when loaded
