What should my idle revs be
As stated what should they be?
On start up from cold it's around 1300rpm. When warm it does down to around 750rpm
Seems quiet high for initially startup
Thanks
Joe

Mine is the same. Cold, it gets more gas, so needs to rev faster or will stall.

Tap the throttle when its running and it will settle ait lower on cold start. Thats all i do

Yeah same here. If you give it a tap (not to rev it but the lightest of taps) after start up it will settle about 150-200rpm lower.

Nothing to worry about, those idle speeds are fine
Taking it out of neutral will also reduce the cold start idle...
