disable high idle?
« on: May 27, 2010, 01:02:32 PM »
I REALLY hate that high idle thing on cold startup on my sammy,  considering all I do is start it up,and get going after it builds oil pressure,  to me, that high idle component on my rig is no more than a total waste of fuel.   

is there any way to disable it without buying a weber?

Check out Ack's FAQ for details on the carb, there should be an adjuster screw for the cold start idle.

I dont think an adjuster screw helps much when I want to eliminate that functon completely.

I have the choke wired open with some small zip-ties on my sammy.  It makes it pretty cold blooded at start up, but it dont idle high.

I basically disabled it using a heavy ziptie holding the high idle part so its not idling at 2500 when I start it up now. I'm MUCH happier.

are you speaking about the high idle pot that is supposed to hold the thottle open slightly if the lights are turned on(and other loads/conditions)?
or the actual choke mechanism?

the choke mechanism.  it works alright now, aside from needing a second or two more time on the first start of the day, but thats no big deal.
