Hi there everyone. I have just finished rebuilding the bottom end of my 26 and it runs sweet but for one thing my engine idles at 2000 rpm constantly :( we have adjusted the idle screw on the aac valve but it only got it down to about 1400 to 1500 rpm. I really dont know whats wrong with it and have put a full gasket kit through the motor. I have read up heaps on vaccum leaks but none of my lines are leaking and there not mixed around. Please if u have any ideas i would love to hear them. Thanks everyone

Yea i took the throttle bodies off when i was putting the motor back together and gave them a full clean had alot of carbon on them. Thanks mate ill spray some carby cleaner in it anyway and give it a go

Sounds like the sealer on the butterflies has been removed.

unfortunately this,

the butterflies have a wax or teflon( from memory) lining on them to make them seal so by washing them you have removed it so they won't seal any more and to the best of my knowledge there is no easy fix

    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
    • Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
    • For future reference, if you need to use Deutsch connectors but don't have the proper crimper for the round style pins, you can get regular style crimp pins too
    • No. The castings are all the same. As you have the inlet off, simply measure the diameter of the inlet ports and compare with the freely available on the net sizes of turbo and NA. The NA ones are small.
