You can now visit if you've had both jabs kermit. Get packing an overnight bag
Thanks kermit! A pity we are to far, isn't it? If it helps, I get my second jab end of July!
But I guess I'll be able to fix it, it ran on the screwed choke pretty well, except for fuel consumption. But we'll see. If she idles at 600-700 rpm, and isn't running rich, I'll try to get through TÜV like that. Worst case, I miss the emissions test. In which case I have to represent within a month and pay 25 bucks. If not, the local JLR garage it is.

Ah, almost there! Fast idle at 1,100 rpm with the choke half pulled out, rpm are ever so slightly dropping when the carb pistons are lifted. Idling speed it almost 1,000 rpm so... No idea how I can get it down, the stop screws aren't making contact right now, so that's not the problem...

fast idle.. check for air leaks
RPM drops if you lift the piston, too lean
I aimed for the lean side, my very smart manual (which I failed to read correctly more than once by now) says a slight drip is ok. I am at maybe 10 rpm or so, hardly noticeable. Idle is at 800 now, I have the suspicious that something is stuck somewhere. But for now, I don't care. Anyway, the aftermarket rpm gauge is sometimes moving without any audible rpm change. Well, I keep telling me that. Idle rpm from start are somewhere around 650-700, they increase to 800 after the acceleration. For now, all good so! Oil change and engine / gearbox gaskets tomorrow!
Yeah, the other carb. The right one is good, as far as I can tell. The left one so is a royal pain, its leaking damper oil, borderline impossible to calibrate correctly (it has a tendency to run rich)... Maybe I do a full rebuild, if I miss emissions that is. Otherwise I'll be very happy to not touch it again!

If the revs are hanging high, it's almost certainly an air leak, possible a vacuum pipe somewhere
