We had an issue once with tickover, it was a little to low and when lights etc were on in traffic it was using more that the alternator was putting in so we upped the tickover by 200 switched everything on whilst at idle ,wipers as well,

Little update for you guys
I've just been offroad for a couple of days round here and it's bloody brilliant BUT what I forgot about telling you all was that I usually run on neat veggie oil or Bio. On that count no issues, but I ran out of oil at the weekend and had "Buy" some diesel ??@@@$$ Curses the stuff is expensive.
Anyway I found my setting or half a turn in was too much with diesel as it smoked on the hills :/ Brilliant performance wise but a bit miserable for those behind me lol,
So you'll probably find a quarter turn fine on diesel. Half turn on veggie

Ok, back from Adelaide, so before I left I had wound the fuel screw in a quarter turn, seemed to have a little more power, no noticeable smoke. Filled up in Adelaide which by where the gauge was sitting could tell was going to be scary, had improved slightly from the 17.7L/100km to 16.95. Is doing my head in why I am using so much fuel all of a sudden as was previously around 12.5-14. Anyway, after this economy I thought, or can't get any worse so I wound the screw in another quarter turn, made it now a little slow coming up the freeway but also pulled quite a bit better up the hill through the tunnels, only dropped to 75-80 in 4 Th by time I went over the top as opposed to only making it up at 60 previously. Still doing my head in over the fuel consumption as a mate has an almost identical set up except mine has 3"Exhaust and his only 2.5 and he swears he averages 11.5L/100km. Any advice is most welcome

So you've wound the screw in but got better fuel numbers? :what:
That doesn't sound right. Yours is Na or turbo?

Well barely better numbers but yes, a little, my theory was that if it was down on power the motor might be working harder to do what it does and use more fuel than if had plenty of power and doing the same work easier, just a theory more than anything, ;-)
