Re: What should the idle speed be at operating temperature? 850 97R

I think I'll try cleaning the throttle body, too. Maybe its sticking partially open at idle. Looks like 900rpm is normal but it just seems a little high compared to what I thought it was. If it drops to 700-800 I'd be happy.

Sin, what do you mean "after a spectaculr start up"? Did the cleaner accumulate then ignite when you started the engine? Wow... that would scare the pants off of me!

By the way, if Kleen-flo made for fuel injection vs. regular carburator cleaner? I think I heard that regular carb cleaners would dries out o-rings and stuff. I was wondering it that was true. Any idea?
