<div style="font-family: Matter, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">As Mr Salter notes, more information would be welcome. </div><div style="font-family: Matter, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><br></div><div style="font-family: Matter, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">However, an initial guess is that your idle speed is too low—should of course be adjusted with the engine at nice, warmed-up operating temperature. If so, the idle can get lower still when the engine gets hot, especially on a longer drive on a hot summer day, making it prone to stalling especially if you come to a hard stop. </div><div style="font-family: Matter, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><br></div><div style="font-family: Matter, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">I'd ignore the dubious advice of setting the hot idle at 800 rpm (along with lots of other "expert" advice out there). My very hands-on experience having owned three Healeys (a BN6, BN1, and currently a BN7) is that these engines prefer an even 1,000 rpm, 900-950 rpm at the lowest. See if that improves things. </div><div style="font-family: Matter, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><br></div><div><span style="font-size:13px; color:#26282a;">On Friday, August 28, 2026 at 08:15:15 AM EDT, rubino@truespeed.ca <rubino@truespeed.ca> wrote:</span></div><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid #ccc; padding-left: 8px; margin: 8px 0 0 8px;"><div><br></div><div id="yiv1247616965">
