Right, i have a 1.0 OHV engine in my nova atm, Now, altho im looking at a conversion near the end of the year, however, until then, this little beast will have to do,

anyway, when i got it, i noticed it idled way too high, it doesnt have a rev counter so i dont know what RPM it does idle at, but id say around 1200,

Im wondering if the timing has been advanced? as when you turn the engine off it doesnt just die sometimes it like clonks out, and sometimes tries to continue running,

If anyone has any info that would be great,
Cheers

only way to know for sure is to get a timing light on it but i would say you diagnosis isnt far off
