Thistledown Posted August 12, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2008 I understand that the idle speed should be set to 1000 RPM. Other than not stalling, is there a reason for this? Suggestions on an inexpensive tachometer to but to set this the RPM, been doing it by ear Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted August 12, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 12, 2008 Book calls for 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted August 12, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 12, 2008 I dont know if there is a specific reason other than possibly loading up the plug. I do know a few that set the idle to a lope as it sounds a bit meaner with aftermarket pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyDawg Posted August 12, 2008 Share #4 Posted August 12, 2008 I keep mine at around 800 to 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted August 12, 2008 Share #5 Posted August 12, 2008 Personally, I prefer the sound and feel of the engine idling about 700 - 800, but don't do it. The biggest concern is to keep enough hot oil pressure at idle, so don't go below the spec. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
