Re: T25 idle problems. Plus backfire

Oh also as for the timing, she doesn't seem to have any of the timing marks! noticed a thread on here where someone had the same problem so I'm going to try and figure that out. I have a timing gun and have set timings before so half know what I'm doing there ha ha

Cheers!

Re: T25 idle problems. Plus backfire

I have narrowed it down to the idel speed control valve (it was stuck solid and had green all over the conections) so im looking to buy a new one. But i cant seem to find them anywhere. I have posted to a few breakersya...
