Update: The TVS Lucas FIP's timing issues appear to have been resolved.

I had been going to Prerana @ Adugodi for my servicing, and in-between, mostly for FIP timing issues. I have about 7 service visits on record where they have checked the timing and then just reset it. Never ever tried to do anything beyond that. Finally moved to Concorde, who had the FIP re-calibrated and two checks later, looks like the FIP is holding its timing.

Another thing Prerana had done was to set my idling speed to about 75% of recommended values. The truck was giving me a decent mileage with this setting, and with this mileage I didnt suspect any problems. While the over-all FE has not increased, higher idling speed along with a re-calibrated FIP atleast means the engine is not under strain because of the wrong idling speed, and is yet behaving like it should
