    The document provides instructions for diagnosing and addressing issues that could cause an engine to run on, including: 1) Checking that the idling speed, ignition timing, fuel mixture, and for twin carburettors, the choke controls are properly adjusted. Carbon deposits and low octane fuel can also cause running on. 2) Adjusting the fast idling speed on Stromberg and Pierburg carburettors involves checking the cam lever position or fast idling screw. 3) Synchronizing twin carburettors involves adjusting the linkage between them to equalize air flow, checked with a synchro-tester.

    Engine runs on

    The likely causes of the engine running on are as


    follows:
    • Idling speed set too high.
    • Ignition timing too far advanced.
    • Mixture in carburettor too weak (idling).
    These three factors tend to produce a wider
    opening of the throttle butterfly.
    • Carbon deposits in combustion chamber
    (caused by prolonged use of choke and engine
    failing to reach normal running temperature).
    • Grade of fuel too low - higher octane rating
    needed.
    • Float chamber ventilation incorrectly adjusted
    (twin carburettors only).

    Checking and adjustment


    Choke Control (Twin carburettors)
    Check that both choke controls strike their stops
    at the same time. If necessary, adjust the control
    spindle linkages.

    Fast idling (Stromberg)


    Check the fast id I ing speed with the engine warm
    as follows:
    (Vacuum line to distributor plugged.)

    a Place an 8 mm (0.315in) dia. spacer


    (drill bit) between the notch in the cam
    lever and the stop on the choke housing.
    b Check that the fast idling speed is cor-
    rect.
    Adjust the stop screw on the throttle lever
    if required.

    Code on r/min fast-idling


    cam
    CM 81-82 1100 ± 50 "A6"
    CM 83 1350 ± 50 "A8"
    CA.CM84- 1350 ± 50 "ASA"
    TMJA81-84 1100 ± 50 "A5"

    Note
    If the code on the cam differs from that shown for
    a given engine variant, follow the setting applic-
    able to the cam code.

    Choke control (Pierburg)


    Make sure the lever deflects fully when the choke
    is pulled out.
    Push in the choke. Make sure the lever is at the
    lower limit of its travel and that the fast idling
    screw is not touching the lever.
    Adjust as necessary.
    Fast idling (Pierburg)

    Note
    Disconnect the vacuum line to the distributor
    and run the engine to normal operating tempera-
    ture.

    Pull out the choke until the mark on the choke


    lever is in line with the fast idling screw.
    Adjust the engine speed to 1350 ± 50 r/min by
    means of the fast idling screw.

    Choke (Pierburg)
    Make sure the choke does not bind.
    Check the valve disc and the corresponding seal-
    ing surface on the carburettor body.
    Remove any minor scratches using fine emery
    cloth and lapping paste.
    Basic setting of metering needle (Strom-
    berg)
    Tools: Needle adjusting tool 83 93 035
    As regards twin carburettors, the basic setting
    must be adjusted on both. The jet is fixed in the
    carburettor and the height of the needle must
    therefore be adjusted to effect the basic setting.
    Proceed as follows.

    1 Remove the damper and oil cap assembly.

    2 Remove the.vacuum chamber cover and the


    return spring.

    3 Withdraw the piston and diaphragm to-


    gether.

    4 Using tool 83 93 035, bring the should of the


    needle in line with the lower edge of the vac-
    uum piston.

    Needle should flush with bottom of piston


    5 Fit the piston and diaphragm complete in the
    carburettor, making sure that the outer tab
    on the diaphragm engages the matching
    slot in the carburettor body.
    6 Fit the spring and vacuum chamber cover,
    making sure that the marks coincide, and
    then fit and tighten the screws.
    7 Check and if necessary fill oil in the damper
    cylinder and fit the damper piston.
    Fine adjustment of the setting is effected in con-
    junction with the subsequent CO check.
    To check the needle (Pierburg)
    Check the needle for signs of wear or damage
    and also the needle setting.
    Release the setscrew to adjust the height of or to
    replace the needle.
    Make sure that the flat in the needle shoulder is
    towards the setscrew.
    The needle designation is stamped on the
    needle and can be seen after the needle has
    been withdrawn from the socket (needle shoul-
    der).

    To synchronize twin carburettors


    1 Run the engine to normal operating temper-
    ature and then let it idle. The idling speed
    adjusting screw serves both carburettors
    and is located on the front carburettor. Loca-
    tion of idling speed adjusting screw, 1984
    Europe spec, models onwards.

    Placement of adjusting screw, Europe specifica-


    tion, as from year model 1984
    Synchronize the carburettors by means of
    the adjusting screw on the linkage between
    the two carburettors. Compare the air flow
    through the carburettors by means of a syn-
    chro-tester. The adjusting screw should be
    locked by means of the locknut after setting.

    CO-setting (Stromberg)
    Before adjusting the CO setting:
    lChange the engine oil.
    2 Check the condition of the spark plugs.
    3 Check the HT leads.
    4 Check the valve clearance.
    5 Check the position of the camshaft (timing) .
    6 Check the ignition timing.
    7 Check the idling speed.
    8 Check the float chamber ventilation.
    9 Check the oil level in the carburettor dashpot
    damper.
    10 Check the air preheater/air cleaner.
    11 Check the delay valve.
    12 Check the radiator fan.
    13 Check the fuel shut-off valve.
    14 Check the fast-idling speed (engine at nor-
    mal running temperature).
    15 Check the operation of the choke modulator
    by blanking off the filter aperture.
    16 Check that the secondary CO adjusting
    screw is screwed fully home.

    Note
    To minimize the possible effect on the readings
    caused by various engine and exhaust emission
    control components, the CO setting on cars with
    Sweden specifications (and Switzerland, as from
    1983 models) should be carried out at an engine
    speed of 2000 r/min. On Europe spec, cars, the
    setting should be made at idling speed.
