Title: How low can you go? ;)
Post by: AndersE on February 15, 2010, 10:48:20 PM
On idle i mean. Is it bad to have too low idle?

My engine runs ok down to 500-550rpm, haven\'t tried lower yet (in pfc).

The bigger the porting the more it will struggle to idle lower down, im on a very extended street port, lowest i can go is 850 before it hunts like mad

Having a bit of a starting issue just now. Everything starts fine, but after 10secs or so, revs dip below 1k and she starts to struggle. Think ive got either a fouled plug or somethings come loose.

But to answer your question, she struggles at about 700rpm or so
