Mi16 Throttle Pot Bolt Size...

[SweetBadger 94]

Hi, I've been meaning to adjust the throttle stop and throttle pot position on my MI for ages but can't for the life of me get any of my sockets in to undo the throttle pot bolts. Does anyone know the size of the bolts holding the throttle pot in position so I can try find a small socket/spanner to fit?

 

Thanks, Alex.

Off the top of my head, it's got to be 6, 7 or 8mm.

I'm pretty sure its 7mm

Thanks guys, it is indeed 7mm.

 

Wish I'd adjusted the throttle stop earlier now - it was adjusted too far open meaning I had to richen up the idle mixture to get a stable idle. Now it's adjusted properly it idles spot on albeit a bit lumpy due to the inlet camshaft, I don't have to run it as rich on idle and the throttle response is smoother... Bonus!

It is a 7mm and congrats on sorting your problem
