A couple of days ago there was a break in the weather and I checked and
adjusted the throttle switch. (It is really not well protected when you
travel dusty roads and probably should be a regular maintenance item.)

I cleaned an slightly oiled the idle stabilizer and checked all connections
and hoses. When I unplug the stabilizer valve during idle the engine dies,
so it is moving. 

Now everything works fine when the engine is cold. When it is warm it
sometimes still idles at 2000 rpm. I can decelerate and notice that the
switch is working now: the engine decelerates to about 1000 rpm and when the
idle system kicks in it accelerates to about 2000. Now here is the kicker:
it does it only when I do not have time to check it further.

In addition it has been raining sideways a lot here and I had a leak in my
self installed front sunroof which began to drip between my legs. Talking
about water cooled ..., no idle surges on my part. Well that is fixed now:
the sunroof of course.

Do I need to invest in a new idle stabilizer or does anyone have clever
repair ideas?
