I'm interested in this topic as it pertains to Weber DGV setups. In fact, I
was just about to post my own question about this. I've adjusted my idle to
about 900-950 when the engine is hot, but I'm having trouble with the idle
being too low when the engine is cold. It hovers around 400-450. Is there
any way to increase my cold idle speed? I thought that by opening the choke
a little my idle might increase, but it doesn't. TIA
