Do not adjust idle speed when engine is too hot, e.g. after a fast drive or after measuring performance on a dynamometer. The air filter should be mounted.

1    Connect test instruments:

•   Closing angle and revolution counter

•   Stroboscope

•   Oscilloscope

•   CO measuring instrument

•   Digital tester

2   Check contact resistance, closing angle and closing angle change, adjust closing angle only when renewing contact breaker points (07.5—510).

3   Evaluate oscilloscope display.

4   Check firing point and adjust, if required. Check centrifugal and vacuum ignition adjustment (07.5-510).

5    Run engine oil temperature up to 60—80 °C.

6   Check intake system for leaks. For this purpose, spray all seal points with Iso-Oktan DIN 51756 or benzine. Change of engine speed indicates leaks.

For spraying, do not use conventional fuel (unhealthy vapors). Pay attention to inflammability and do not spray on red-hot components or components of igni­tion system.

7   Check engine regulating linkage for easy operation and wear. Lubricate all bearing points and ball sockets.

8 Switch off air conditioning system or automatic climate control. Move selector lever into position

9 Check whether on vehicles with cruise control (Tempomat) the Bowden wire rests free of tension against regulating lever with the engine running. Adjust Bowden wire with adjusting nut (1), if re­quired. For this purpose, run engine.

07.2.2 la—110/3

10   With the engine running, check whether throttle valve lever (3) rests against adjusting screw (68).

11    Check idle speed and adjust with adjusting screw (68), if required.

12 Check idle speed emission value without air in­jection. For this purpose, make air injection inopera­tive as follows (for (usa) 1973/74 nothing need be made inoperative):

(T) 1976

Pull off blue/purple vacuum line at connecting point (arrow).

Pull rubber cap (arrow) from blue/purple vacuum line.

07.2.2 la—110/4

Pull rubber cap (arrow) from blue/purple vacuum line.

(usa) California 1974

Pull off red vacuum line at the connecting point (arrow).

(©) 1975/76

Pull off blue/purple vacuum line at connecting point (arrow).

The exhaust gas for idle speed CO measurement on vehicles with catalyst, (T)i976and ©)1975/76, is drawn off in front of catalyst at check valve (arrow) of air injection.

For measuring idle speed emissions, open valve plate of check valve by means of a self-made wire hook. Connect exhaust gas hose of CO measuring instrument to check valve.

07.2.2 la—110/5

13 Adjust idle speed emission value without air in­jection. For this purpose, adjust both adjusting screws (arrows) uniformly.

Then check idle speed synchronization while inserting test wire 0.5 mm dia (arrow) into both air correction nozzles (78) one after the other and measuring CO increase. The CO increase should be uniformly high on both sides. Readjust with idle speed mixture adjusting screws, if required.

Note: To prevent measuring faults, do not insert test wire deeper than 10 mm into idle speed air jet. With­out test wire, the max. idle speed emission value may not be exceeded. Readjust uniformly, if required.

Accelerate for a short moment, check idle speed and idle speed emission value once again and regulate again, if required.

14    Reattach vacuum hose for air injection (air in­jection operating). The idle speed emission value should now be below the previously set value.

15   Adjust vacuum governor. For this purpose, run engine, pull off vacuum hose (64), adjust specified speed with adjusting screw (63), attach vacuum hose.

When loosening counternut, apply counterhold to diaphragm rod.

Engage driving position on automatic transmission, set to specified speed with adjusting nut (61). Turn power steering to full lock and engage air condi­tioning system, engine should still run smoothly. Regulate speed again, if required.

16   Adjust accelerating pump. For this purpose, run engine, pinch vacuum hose (64). Check whether throttle valve lever (3) rests against adjusting screw (68) (Fig. item 15).

Set adjusting nut (25) in such a manner that the actuating lever (198) pushes the diaphragm thrust bolt (199) 1.0 mm inwards.

07.2.2 la-110/6

Starting June 1973 the adjusting nut with pinch lock is replaced by a self-locking polystop nut. Simultane­ously, the connecting rod has been extended by 2 mm (to facilitate adjustments).

Present version

For this purpose, slowly actuate throttle valve lever, a uniform fuel jet should now come out of both in­jection bores (arrows) immediately and on both sides.

The fuel jet should not touch edge of Venturi and pre-atomizer, since this may result in starting and bypass faults. If required, remove carburetor cover and clean injection bores.

17 Check dashpot (82) for leaks. Then run engine, pinch vacuum hose of damper (82). Open air valve (154) and release, air valve should then snap back against stop (205). If not, replace dashpot. With the engine stopped, check whether air valve (154) operates easily and returns automatically to stop (205) if slightly opened.

82 Dashpot for air valve stage II

18 Check fuel return valve for leaks. For this purpose, run engine at idle speed. Pinch vacuum hose on fuel return valve, idle speed emission value or engine speed should not change. Replace return valve, if required.
