Wasn't my smartest moment. It is probably stuffed, I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks for your help bee utey. If it is getting lots of air all the time i guess this would mean more fuel would be used to compensate for extra air to keep the mixture ratio right? If this sounds plausible it could explain poor fuel economy.
This is incorrect. It only has 12 volts on it when cranking. I misunderstood the bible. Either way it was working correctly. In the end i adjusted the wheel in the flapper clockwise to lower the revs. The performance also on creased when i did this. However now when in gear and at idle the car lunges forward as if you were giving throttle then taking it off. If i apply a little throttle it runs fine.
