Tick over

Degsy has been re-taxed and today I took it for a spin. The motor was running very nicely. I noticed that Degsy was ticking over a bit quickly though. When all the other jobs were done including sweeping out the back of Degsy I warmed up Degsy then backed off the throttle stop screw. When a fraction of slack could be felt on the throttle stop I then adjusted the slow running screw to set the tick over proper. I brought the tick over down until the "charge" light, on the dash board, started to glow. After a quick spin round the estate the tick over was proved to be spot on.
