It’s still not running like i want - 500rpm increasing to 700rpm
Maybe I need to tweak the fuelling?! Found a random manifold stud in the air inlet Gave the air inlet float a clean too I think it’s potentially fuel but unsure JJ

P.s. now the engine seems to be running a little less lumpy, I’m wondering if I should adjust anything else
Car starts v well but I’m running at just over 500rpm rising to 700rpm a minute later. Idle speed valve doesn’t seem to do much tbh until I literally stall the engine with it. Not sure I should try and do the timing - struggling to see the timing marks and don’t think the flywheel is correctly mounted - maybe I’m being dim! Plus the distributor seems pretty firmly oxidised in place and doesn’t look like it’s ever moved. So should I tweak the fuel air mix? On the k-jet it’s the allan key - mine is covered by a little blue plug so if need to take this off - but is it worth it? JJ
