Re: Clio 16v engine running with vids page 4.
Cheers J, I've been playing with it this morning, and it idles but at about 2000rpm with no choke. I'll have to adjust things a bit more and see if I can get it to sit at 1000 or so.

Re: Clio 16v engine running with vids page 4.
All sorted now, got the mixture correct, back onto 58 idle jets and fettled the throttle return. Carbs are now perfectly synchronised and the car is FAST.

Yeah mate, it felt awesome. Even better though, I've just driven it round to the MOT shop and booked it in for 10am tomorrow. It's hard not to spin the 195/15s!

GOOD NEWS!
It passed!!
But there wasn't enough time to tax it before work, so he had to go in the 740
One minor fault though;
