Post GTR Idle speed
What is a good average idle rpm for the 35. Mine tends to speed up gradually while in neutral. It will get up to 1400 rpm sometimes. I bump the throttle and it will drop to about 930. Thats about where Id like it to stay but it slowly speeds back up. Just curious.

1100-1200 should be good.

Procrastination is a lot like masturbation. Sure it sounds great at the time but, in the end your only f--k--g yourself.
