Nope, you don't
That is indeed the throttle stop, but you do not set the idle speed with it.
Under your thumb in that pic is a cap, prise this out, and underneath is a 1/4" hex grub screw, THIS is your idle bypass screw, and is used to set the idle.
The tiny grub screw you point to is designed to stop the butterfly slamming into the plenum wall each time you let off, and wearing out both components, and probably shouldn't be moved from factory position -I can see no reason to do this.
I read somewhere that there should be a 0.004" gap approx between the butterfly and the housing. Is that the case?

Good shout Ron, but then I'd have to buy a welder, learn to weld then do the job

Cheers Daily that's useful. Would you know the best place to get these?

Evening All,
Just put the roof back on my 90 after a long time. I have all the nuts and bolts to fit the roof, but appear to have mislaid the six that fix the windscreen frame at the top. Can some one tell me if they are the nuts attached to plates to stop them spinning whilst being tightened? I have found a couple of these, and it seems to be logical because of access to hold a standard nut. If someone can confirm this, or otherwise, where can I purchase some from.
Regards
Jon

I've got a couple of 400w security lights wired into the garage. Great light, but can create shadows without additional lighting. Cheap to buy

"Have you taken any carp into the fuel tank / system / filter ?"
Nige, if there's carp in his tank, he's defo gone wading. I think he's fishing for an answer

The mods might want to move this to videos?

I'm sure it's ok, but when you jack the Landy up have you got the height?

Thanks for the pointers guys

I don't know for sure, but in the moist mornings you may get condensation on the plastic. I roofed my garage with the plastic corrugated sheeting, and had lines of drips where the battens were fixed, all along the floor and car. I had to remove the sheeting and put underfelt underneath. Top job now, that was about 12 years ago. The underfelt and plastic are still going strong. My garage is about 12' x 30', although it was built before I had my 90, so I had to remove the roof and door off the 90 to get it in to work on it..lol

What would be the best route to take for the VR wire? I've heard it can pick up "noise" if routed in certain places?

Why not get a big flat steel plate, weld your post to that, sink it about a foot. If the plates big enough, then the tow vehicles weight will be over it making it difficult to pull out

Cheers Nige, I'm on the right track then.

Haven't touched MS for ages, but just started to get back into it. I'm sure I read somewhere that it doesn't matter which way round the wires go in the sensors ie water temp, IAT, Is this the case? Also the PWM valve, does it matter which way round the wires go? I think I've got the coil wires the right way round!! If I haven't am I likely to do any damage? Any advice more tha welcome
Cheers, Jon

I bought a Nilfisk, which I'm sure I read that it had a metal impeller pump rather than the plastic type (as found in Karchers?)
It's been a reliable pump so far

More banter:
I see you have the Lucas lighter as well.......

lansalot, did you install MS on that engine? can you please post pictures of the trigger disk? do I need to remove the pulley? is it installed between the pulley and engine, or ontop the pulley?
trulyalya, go to the MS section. All will be revealed

Does the relay board make for a much simpler and error free installation? I'm considering getting one from Nige. By the way Nige if I order from your website it's £100 inc P&P, but only £94 with free P&P off ebay? I think I'll order off ebay

Will you be using the MS relay board, or doing your own thing?
