Hi revs on idle

Post by JerryMaidstone »

Hi all, I own a 1984 water cooled 1900cc petrol camper. It starts first time and runs good, but, there's a problem if I'm stationery in traffic. The revs increase as it gets hotter. More revs, more heat. More heat, more revs. Do any of you talented people know the cause and the remedy? Jerry.

Do you have side effect symptoms like not idling well when cold? Was thinking along the lines of a slight air leak which gets plugged once engine is warm. That would cause an increase in revs.
