[Healeys] uneven idle

[Alan Seigrist]

Hi Len -

Sounds to me like you need to check your throttle linkage / throttle shafts
(are they loose?) / butterfly valves (are they loose and/or are they seated
properly?).

you can check throttle shafts by dripping some oil in on each side of the
shaft on the carb and if the car starts running more reliably, then it
means you need to have the throttle bodies reamed and re-bushed.

you can check the butterfly valves by removing the carbs from the car.

hope that helps,

Alan
