[Healeys] SU slow run valve or open throttle coninued

[Ken]

I will experiment with a mityvac and some tubing to the float bowl drain pipes to try and simulate some of the tr6 arrangements. I am not going to add a charcoal cannister!KenSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I would suggest adding Chevron Techron into your fuel tank for a few drives. It is advertised as a solution to reduce carbon build up in the combustion chamber which is one of the leading causes of dieseling.

I  would think one could be installed on a BJ8 without too much difficulty.

Maybe at a specified idle speed the mixtures are the same.Since American cars of the 70's used idle solenoids, I am thinking I could put on a solenoid for the idle with ignition off. When ignition is off the throttle blades go completely closed. Combined with a low idle I might be less irritated.Ken Freese65 BJ8On 2024-07-05 11:54, Ken Freese via Healeys wrote:> Which technique will minimize dieseling on my BJ8, using the slow run> valve for a low idle or closing the slow run valve and using the> throttle screw for a low idle?
