My God Jim, where did your switches go?
That's right where they'd be.  I can send you pictures of mine if you
need.
I have 1984's.

Hmmm...  Bentley shows several variations on the throttle valve switch.
 The
text indicates that a faulty switch or improper adjustment can cause
the
irregular idle that I'm experiencing.

Problem is, I can't find it!  I see NO electrical connections anywhere
near
the throttle body nor do I see the adjustment plate or the switch
itself!

Can anyone help?   It's a 1985 1.9 L Westy Weekender.

I have posted photos of the throttle mechanism from two different
angles at
the following link:

Thanks in advance!  (TIA)
