Default Idle problems solved! Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you to all of those that posted on these forums in relation to idle issues. I just spend all of four hours replacing my inlet manifold gasket and this solved the problem!

Thank you!

Yep, it'll do the trick. Apparently it's common for the gasket to leak around cyls 1 & 2, but mine was leaking at the back, around 5 &6.

Now I have a sweet, smooth idle down to 600rpm that is only belied by some slight whine from the blower :-)
