David, Once again thank you for the fix. Adjusting the mixture has made no difference, leaner it stumbles and same with richer. Tried adjusting the linkage to mechanically increase revs, however that just seemed to make the gear change harsher with no measurable rev increase at idle. Will try and hunt down someone in Brisbane that knows these and see if I can get it fixed that way. Oh for an early Holden with a single barrel solex!
