In a round about way my question was probably which idle technique gives <br>
a leaner mixture? Maybe at a specified idle speed the mixtures are the <br>

Since American cars of the 70's used idle solenoids, I am thinking I <br>
could put on a solenoid for the idle with ignition off. When ignition is <br>
off the throttle blades go completely closed. Combined with a low idle I <br>
might be less irritated.<br>
