Hi Guys,

I've just been cleaning the throttle body off my T8 Strada and noticed I don't have any air-bleeds. I assume that these little beasties were added when they added the 'choke' (which mine also doesn't have). I guess that makes it easier to set it up but it also means my workshop manual is of indeterminate usage for this bit If I ignore the references to using the air bleeds then I reckon I need to do the following;

(I) Set the TPS to give 150mV with the throttle stops backed off
(2) Wind the throttle stop on Horizontal cyl to open the throttle to give 300mV.
(3) Adjust Vertical cylinder throttle adjuster so it just touches its stop
(4) Warm engine and balance the vacuums using the throttle synch adjuster
(5) Adjust tickover by turning the two throttle stop screws the same amount
(6) Recheck balance

Does that sound right?

Thanks,

Keith
