2 possible solutions.
1st, easiest.
dirty connections to power computer or
idle adjuster selonid.
unbolt harness plug, clean comp. end and
plug end w/ "elec. contact cleaner"
get a sm tube of dielectric grease and plaster
it in all the female holes.
on the plug!!
get your minds out of the gutter ;)
be careful screwing the plug back in and make
sure the plug can be pushed/rocked in by hand
so you dont bend any of the 50+ contact terminals :)
2nd,
could be a stuck/frozen "idle speed adjuster"
at throttle linkage there should be a fat selonid
looking thing w/ 3+ wires going to it and an idle
adj. screw.
if you a mechanical type and can take stuff apart and
put it back together ;p, just remove it (2-3 screws)
from TB and take selonid apart, lube gears w/ moly
or a qual. grease and clean motor shaft/bushings.
its a 10-15 min job.
