    Default VK Idle fluctuating

    Hi Guys,

    Recently I'm having the idle fluctuating on the VK, sometimes it will be say 1200, then all of a sudden snaps to 900, then back to 1200, then wait a bit and it snaps to 900.

    What could be causing this, I'm thinking something playing up with the idle control on the Carb as it seems to be a bit complex, is it electronically controlled?

    Thanks.

    auto or manual?

    you know what the TVS is? checked all the hoses to make sure nothing has come off? namely the vacuum advance hose. i would say it is a vac hose problem, but could also be a problem with your transmission if its auto.

    Has it got air conditioning? If it has there will be a fast idle control device that increases the idle speed every time the air con compressor clutch engages.
