    I've got a Peugeot 205 Raylle Sport Special 1993 "K" plate, it
    currently has 157,700 miles, and I suspect the carberettor is playing
    up, this is a manual choke car with solex carb, TU3S engine.

    On setting the choke in the mornings at the desired idle speed, after
    a few minutes, the idle speed will increase/decrease and "wobble" all
    over the place, sometimes "it sticks", as if too much fuel is choking
    the engine, maybe carb/thorrtle cable is stuck open etc

    A garage mentioned in the past the throttle linkage is worn.

    Will Redex for Carbs help me out?

  2. Hi,

    Only replying to answer directly your final question - if this is true
    that there is wear in the throttle linkage, then no Redex wont help
    you - that just clears out any crap that might have built up in the
    Carb, (jets, around the throttle body etc) Wont help you with a part
    that has excess physical wear.

    Does the car run OK once it is warmed up ?
