[TR] TR6 Idle adjustment fix

[Bud Rolofson]

The idle on my 6 has been a bit high (10-12k) since installing Joe  
Alexander's velocity stacks (the engine likes more air at Denver's  
altitude) but when I tried to cut the idle back I realized the spring  
on the idle screws (ZS 175s) had become compressed and I couldn't let  
the screw out enough to lower the idle speed without losing the  
tension that holds it in place.

So I removed the screw and spring and stretched the spring just a bit  
(from 0.376 to 0.418 in.) and was able to get the idle to come closer  
to the 850-900 range once I could let the screw out and could still  
keep enough tension so it wouldn't rattle loose.

You'd think changing idle speed would be a simple thing but you learn  
something new everyday with these cars.
