thanks NGOMA
yes if im going to get another 1/8 turn up to the smoke screw the anti tamper washer will need to be loosed off . if i attempt it i will need to do it on the car holding locknut and grips on the washer very carefully as its tight for space there .
am i on the wrong track as the garage must of wound the screw back to its original setting as the tamper washer has not been disturbed ;
moving on they have adjusted something on the cold start as they have put anti tamper paint on the nut!
can any adjustment in this area make fuel consumption worse . or might it be the throttle shaft set up thats making fuel consumption worse ,sorry ive thrown a few issues at this problem ,
i have been monitoring M.P.G,consumption for many years i zero the clock at every fill up and take it up to about 400 miles over before i fill up again i always get about 30 mpg around town and local runs so i will be monitoring this as always .
regards jim
