Quick question? Idling

[Matt]

My brothers 155 HGT is ticking over at 600rpm (When warmed up). The little heat gauge is in the middle of Hot and Cold, but seems like tickover is low.

What should a 155 HGT be ticking over at?

1999 Bravo. Only modifications being a K&N.
Service 3k miles ago (Cambelt included). 51k on the clock.

Does it spluter and cut out?.... if not i wouldn't worry to much mate.... may be his needle is ever so slightly out.....just a guess... are there any other performance problems flat spots etc....???

If heaven is a place on earth why is it such a hell of a place to live.
Oh and dont pee on hot coals it smells.....so i have heard!

Nope no performance issues. Although very rarely when coming to a junction with the clutch down, the revs drop really low, but go back up again.
He's only worried because his 147 HGT use to tick over a 850rpm and he takes it to the garage if he hears or sees anything abnormal.

Thanks

look under the bonnet and follow there the acellerator cable goes there will be a little black or ****e block of plastic under this will be a screw where the plastic sits turn it a little bit and it will idle higher but if it doesnt cause you no problems dont fix whats not broken
