Hello

getting an old gas system fixed in the van at the mo.

Just got it back as he's waiting for some parts to come. He says it started running bad and he had to turn the idle way up to get it to stay goin.

Since getting it back i've discovred the idle valve wasn't opening. I bypassed the wiring and it clicks off and on ok. Got it started turned the idle way back down and everything is fine until i disconnect the the temporary wiring.

Instead of trying to find what has been disconnected if anything can I wire in another connection for this, where does it come from ?

At the minute there is two wires connected to the plug that connects to it. One from a 'sensor' ? on a metal water pipe just beside it and one which dissapears into a loom and looks to go up front somewhere, this is also connected to a wire leading to the carb somewhere.

Any ideas ?

anyone to rescue easter for me

Got it started turned the idle way back down and everything is fine until i disconnect the the temp wiring.

Then why are you disconnecting the temp II sensor wiring (the one that goes into the thermostat) - if it idles with it connected... don't understand - maybe getting wrong end of stick, quite normal here

If its cold it won't idle and start well without the Temp II sensor wiring connected

Sorry, thats meant to read temporary wiring eg just wired directly off the battery.

Read twice post once !

you need to run a wire off the coil, +12vdc, one of the black wires should go from the coil to the ISV, and also to the choke, the sensor in the water pipe should control the carb heater, NOT the ISV.....

all you need is a +12vdc when the ignition is on, which is off when the ignition is off.

sorry to be being a bit thick but is this right ?



I'm still very new to all this, trying my best !

Would the above wiring be right ?

Cheers,
