Will get back to you - not sure what model to be honest. Pretty sure getting no where near 21mpg - of course I wasn't expecting good fuel consumption from a s3 that's not why I bought it, but would like to get it better than it is if I am going to keep the petrol engine and not replace it with the a diesel.

I no longer have mine on as I have a VW Diesel in it now, but I will dig it out of the pile of Rover parts in the garage, have a look at the screws, and let you know. Have you checked your plugs to make sure it is jetted right? I live at 7400' and I think I had to run a 150 main. It had a 165 in it when I got the Rover. To be fair, I did also have 9:1 comp and a header in place of the worthless cracked cast exhaust, so both may have helped mileage a bit too.

jimfoo Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Well, mine is quite burried. But from what I remember the screw near the base towards the front, is the idle mixture. The ones towards the bulkhead are the idle speed and idle speed for the choke. There is a brass plug with a slot towards the valve cover. The idle jet is behind it, so if it won't idle, that jet needs cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
