Rich idle / erattic running 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Karl Werrett on  Fri Nov 3 10:36 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Have B230FT engine that runs beatifully. Unfortunately though it can be erattic on initial fire up and run rough, over rich, until revved.

Air flow meter could be the problem?

I have cleaned it out, cleaned out all vacuum pipes, CIS valve vleaned and OK. Plugs new, dist cap and rotor arm new, plug leads new.

Engine can sometimes fluctuate 750-900 rpm on idle when this occurs.

Compressions good.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Regards........Karl
