You don't actually need the auxiliary air valve, other than when starting the car from cold. I ran a 145 for years with one plugged with epoxy resin, the car just behaves a bit awkwardly for a couple of minutes in the morning.

As you are no doubt aware the idle is set by the screw under the manifold, not with the throttle cable. If you have disturbed the throttle cable, make sure the static setting on the throttle switch is where it is supposed to be.

Regards

Pete
