1969 Series IIa 88 w/ 2.25 petrol 4 banger
When cold, she starts right up (with choke) and once choke is off settles down to a nice, even idle. I don't have a tachometer so I don't know how fast but from the perspective of my ears, it sounds just right. Things sound nice and quiet - a bit of clicky clacky but nothing alarming etc. Sounds like a sweet engine.
When warm it idles much higher - I'd guess at 200-300 rpm higher - and is much noisier (more CLICKY more CLACKY).
It's a Weber 34ICH carb and oil bath air cleaner. No apparent air or vacumn leaks that stand out.
Any thoughts?
