Fast Idle (1968-72 Models)

On GT-6, TR-250 & TR-6 models, with choke control fully pushed in, make sure that each choke lever is against its stop. If necessary, adjust cables to achieve this condition. Pull out choke control until cable connection lines up with pivot of lever and fast idle screw. Adjust fast idle screws until they just contact cam, start engine and while cold (68-86°F) adjust screws an equal amount to obtain a fast idle speed of 1100 RPM. On Spitfire & Stag models, with choke control pushed in, adjust gap between fast idle screw and cam to.030" (Spitfire) or.075-.080" (Stag). Start engine and pull out control knob fully. While engine is cold (68-86°F) adjust fast idle speed to 1100 RPM with fast idle screw(s).
