It also solved my economy guage problem.At idle it used to be about 1/4 of an inch towards the right in gear, now it is almost full left.Also my erratic shifting is gone nice and smooth. It is not perfect but it is about 80%. I am going to adjust the EHA when I find a 2mm hex. I will see what 1/4 turn does.
It is like a new car!

Would think our 126 engines were similar but mine is a euro.
Is the lambda in that area?
What is this tower in front of fuel dist?
On mine therer is the tube which controls Fuels ratio?
I was told clockwise would lead to stall so I'd assume that was leaner. It would suggest counterclockwise was richer.

I am having issues & fuel mix may be on the list.
