what rpms should the blaster idle at

 

[MercMenace]

My understanding is that the Blaster idles pretty high. mine is set around 2000 rpm.

Are you running the stock carb? What mods do you have? Blaaster's post is spot on for a stock or lightly modified machine.

I have mine set to 1400.

I you have a lightened flywheel or run some advanced timing, a higher idle speed is of benefit!

I'm curious to why that is because mine is lightened.

Stabbing the throttle at very low RPM can result in a sputter. Combine that with the lower inertia of a lightened flywheel and it can stall.
