Ive recently fitted a new battery, radiator and a secnd hand alternator to my N/A 92 Zed. Everything works fine, the voltmeter in my pillar pod says 14volts all the time etc. However, jut went out for a long spin with my lights on heater on and stereo on, when i started getting into traffic it cut out twice! The revs just dropped so low they cut out. I have noticed that with the heater on the revs rise at tickover to about1000, when the heater is swithed off it drops down to about 400revs then backup to about 600 revs.

Is this too low ?

If so how can i alter it so that it ticks over at nearer 1000 revs?

Or could there possibly be something else wrong with it ?

 

Thanks for any help -

Did you get a battery suited to the Zed? It needs a big battery to run it. When the Air con comes on the revs will rise to compensate - thats normal - If its always at 600 the base idle may need to be adjusted as it should be 750 ish.

Its a battery from a uk twin tubby, so it should be ok for the job.

Generally it idles about 650 ish - about 750! How do i up it ?

 

Thanks by the way

why not take it for a good tune up?

have alook at tt.net I think ther is a write up there.

the base idle is set too low, adjust the screw on the idle air valve near the battery.

Ok thanks guys! Much appreciated, as always

Mine's the same mate, when i put the heater fan on,

the revs pick up to about 1100rpm!

Usually idles at anything between 700-1000rpm :confused:

Is this normal?

Does anybody know?

 

Cheerz...... :dance:

That is normal. If you press the 'econ' button, it should drop back to approx 750rpm (if the engines warm, otherwise around 1000rpm, which will eventually drop to 750)

 

si.
