![]() You may have to make several SMALL adjustments to get the thing exactly right. Leave it to stand (preferably overnight) and when the engine is cold, one press on the accelerator pedal SHOULD allow the bi-metallic spring to close the butterfly, if this doesn't happen, slacken off the three screws and move the black cap VERY slightly in the direction of the + arrow until it JUST closes. ![]() With the engine warm, CAREFULLY turn the black cap in the direction of the - (minus) arrow until the butterfly starts to open, re-tighten the three screws, but don't put the air cleaner back just yet. ![]() Slacken off the three screws that hold that black cap in place - Unless you need to get at the bi-metallic spring which closes the butterfly, there is no need to completely remove this black cap. The thread locking liquid is to prevent it from swallowing any of the screws/studs, should they happen to come lose. You will need to completely remove the air cleaner - When you put this back, put ONE drop of thread locking liquid on each of the nuts that hold it to the carburettor (also to the studs if these come out instead of the nuts coming off as you remove them.) If you fancy having a go at this yourself, make sure that the mechanism is all free to move and is lubricated. Why won't the butterfly stay open? Has any alteration been made to the position of the black cap which is on the drivers side of the carburettor? - If it is rotated too far in the direction of the + (plus) arrow, then the butterfly WILL tend to remain closed.
