adjustment for the high idle.the best i remember (its been years)you
need a 9/16 wrench to adjust it. looking into your engine
compartment,above the fuel filter on top of the engine you will
see..jay,i have an 86 pt40 here for sme repairs,let me look at that
part tomorrow so i can give you a better discription,i need a
refresher on it! BUT,before you go adjusting anything replace the
throttle return springs where the throttle cable connects on top of
the engine at the rear,you need 3 springs,anything less will result
in high fast idle speeds,no kidding..
