740 Tuneup? 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be 740_owner on  Fri Mar 25 14:51 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi, I bought a 740 and it runs good...but when I first start it up in the morning it runs kinda rough for a few seconds (rpm meter going up and down) it acts like it's going to die but it never does. After it warms up, in park the rpm is about 1400 which I thought was kinda high, and in drive it's about 700-900, and dips to 500 every ten seconds or so.

Is there a cheap thing I can do to make it idle/run a little better. I was thinking of changing the plugs/wires (anyone know what gap?) and air filter. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks
