Just out of interest, what's the other adjustable item to the right of the throttle lever? It's also got a locknut on it, and needs undoing with a 10mm spanner? It seemed to adjust the idle speed as well, but not by as much. I fiddled with this first! But I marked it before I fiddled and put it back before I reset the idling speed. Cheers Mike
