Gentlemen:
Good Morning.
SSII 1977 SRF 30074
When the car is running on ambient engine temp,the idling slows down at stop lights, as a result, I the yellow oil lamp starts to flicker and the AC stutters.
My rookie diagnosis, at this point, is that I may have a dirty hot idle compensator.
What is the correct procedure to rectify the problem?
Kindest regards
M Khan

Hi M Khan;
Before you proceed too far, check that the hot idle is ok on "Park" i.e. on "rest". Take a while too see where the idle speed sets itself. It could be just an idling speed set too low. Also, you might have an air leak in the intake system (after) the carbs; poss just one side (?).
Ignition (I hate that word nowadays!!!), including all the spark plugs & leads plus timing right? Retard / advance hoses ok?
Ok; if that all seems to be ok you could be facing a hot idle compensator problem as suggested.
Please, let us know how it does!
