jaywkang Veteran Date registered: Dec 2006 Location: Music City (Nashville TN) Vehicle(s): 1980 Mercedes 230G, 1997 VW Golf VR6 Posts: 120 | Cold Idle adjustment of Stromberg175 CDT does anyone have any advice on how to adjust the cold idle RPM using the Stromberg carb? My g runs around 2500-3000 RPM for a long time after start up even after the car's temp guage reads 1/2 on its scale. I don't know if this is normal or not but it's kinda annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks | ||

Been craving your guys's wines as of late. If you're ever in Nashville I'll take you to a great Tapas bar in town. Well. . . mediocre Tapas but tapas nonetheless. There is a cold idle adjustment screw that needed to be fiddled with and that did the trick. | ||

bwillie Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Cold Idle adjustment of Stromberg175 CDT If you get to the point that you can no longer adjust the Stromberg you can change it out to the Weber Carb kit. I did this about a year ago so I could easily change jet sizes for the Altitude. I have been pretty happy with it so far. (K240a.jpg) Attachments ---------------- K240a.jpg (84KB - 1 downloads) | ||
