Hey there, Thanks to all who replied, problem solved, got it down to about
800 RPM which is making the engine run a little better. Took the car out for
a test drive (Kind of nice to be able to do that finally :-) ) and then my
clutch went out. I lost all my brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder and
it is leaking from the slave cylinder (Which is brand new) Is this a common
problem with some of these?? anyway now I have to locate a slave cylinder
before Tuesday or the roadster is not going.
