Time for a re-tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the fuel regulator compensate or can't it handle the extra flow? Could it be tested by fitting a fuel pressure gauge after the pump? That might also tell you if it's not making enough pressure. Edited 31/12/11 07:53 PM by riptide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up getting them trimmed anyway just to help in the low rpm and cold running areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was caused by the filter (Mesh) in the fuel reg being blocked with crap. As soon as this was fixed, normal idle was achieved.Just a thought.... Good luck.
