K-Jet rough/lumpy idle, looking for troubleshooting tips 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be CB on  Sun Apr 15 14:52 CST 2012 [RELATED]

the first and easiet thing to do is to check/adjust the mixture.

even if you don't use any instruments...a Dwell Meter or a Digital Volt meter,
Just turning the adjustment screw to see if there is any change in the idle will tell you if that's the problem.

And since you've done a complete rebuild...odds are it's running too rich

You need a long 3mm Allen Wrench. Clockwise is richer/CounterClock is leaner.



ps there is a complete section in the Volvo Prb Solver on troubleshooting the K-Jet.

some people have had problems getting it to download....I have not...downloaded a second copy last evening with no problem
