I haven't had a chance to check the relays and contacts, and the high tickover was getting on my nerves. I've adjusted the air wheel, and dropped the tickover to about 950. The car seems to run OK, but I sense that it is not at its optimum settings. I accept that my adjustment was akin to the national heath service method of allopathic treatment, and I need to find the root cause of the problem, but it seemed worth it as a quick improvement until I can spend some time. It took about 1.5 turns of the wheel, and that seems a lot for a sudden requirement to adjust. I've mislaid my multimeter, so it is a bit harder to test the relays.
