I installed my 4k governor springs this past Monday. I installed the retaining screw back to the same height as measured before removal (at least as close as I could get it to the original measurement, original measurements were .057 & .049, installed back @ .059 & .052, that's as close as I could get it). I took it for a spin (after adjusting the idle down to around 800 on the factory tach). It climbs to 3k very quickly, maybe too quickly (it's a 2wd 5spd). Herein lies my 2 questions: It runs good, doesn't miss, but from idle to WOT, I only need to push the pedal about 2", It's very touchy. I did a search, and from what I read I probably have the screws a little too tight???. Looking for reassurance that this is the most likely problem. If so, should I just back them off 1 click and try, or should I go 2 and try???.

 

it is always super touchy....but yea backing them off a hair will help.... but idle maybe super low if u loosen them.. so u may have to turn it up a hair

 

How do you adjust the idle

 

i vote get used to it being touchy. it will keep you smiling longer. and a 10MM nut on the back of the pump

 

The low idle adjustment is on the end of the pump (the end towards the rear of the engine). As stated before, it's a 10mm bolt, with a jam nut. You need to loosen the nut first, then adjust the bolt. It's the opposite of what you would expect, couter-clockwise raises the idle, clock-wise lowers the idle. I had to feel for it cause you can't see it. I went in between the lines coming off of the master cylinder.
