need4speed Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 How can I make sure this is set at factory position on Hotwire plenum? I see that someone in the past has taken the cap off mine so god knows what it's sitting at.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 One of the things you do when setting up the engine for the first time on MS (and actually on hotwire/Lucas) is set the base idle. You do this by slackening the throttle cable so the throttle plate seals properly, and blocking both hoses going to the ISV. Set the idle speed to around 650 hot using the above grub screw Then you set the idle speed with the ISV using the idle settings in software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks Pete. I guess I will leave it alone for now then. Will it be anti-clockwise to slow down and clockwise to speed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 No, other way It opens a bypass round the throttle plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodumatau Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) and you will find it is not a 6mm, but rather some funny size i don't have but a lot of fun to play with and get your idle right once you find something that fits into the grub screw Edited February 24, 2017 by bodumatau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah, quarter inch. I ground a flat blade screwdriver down a mm or so, and use that, fits lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
