Jim...
I think I have had the CIS from hell, but its getting better.

Without going into great details about component replacements, constant adjustments ( I wear the 3 mm mixture adjuster around my neck now!) and other things I have done to finally get this baby to turn over (start) when cold, the idle problem plagues me the most. I definitely have to use the hand lever on start up and usually stay at 1800 - 2000 through warm up. If I let it down too early the idle will surge or get close to shutting down. I believe this is normal. After I register 140-180 degrees, I will lower and see if it dies coming to a full stop. I have been lucky and that has not happened, so again everything seems fine. Once warmed up, the great majority of the time I come to a stop thereafter, the idle goes to zero and thens bounces up directrly to idle setting at 950. No alternator light or sputtering. The other few times the idle will drop to 200 or 300 hundred and back to 950. I do not know where to go from here......The car runs incredibly fantastic once warmed up......aside from the idle issue.

Are their any other adjustment points? Thats where I thought the microswitch can come into play.

Thanks

Bob
