I'm wondering what Perry Mick idles at, given his use of the stock Mazda
engine computer.

Are you also using the stock manifold and fuel system?

Want to fill in some data for us, Perry?

Sounds like you are doing the right things, Steve

My engine idles between 1800-2000 rpm and I believe Tracy's does the same.
Without a flywheel and load prop mass, it needs a bit more rpm to be
smooth
than say an Automobile.  With my newest manifold it will actual idle close
to 1200 rpm, but it is not smooth and sounds like it may want to quite, so
I
set it higher.
