Slow idle
I just replaced the battery after having it die in traffic, and the idle sounds a bit slow. There seems to be a rattle in the vicinity of the mufflers/exhaust, closer to the cab. It's not bad, but it does sound different when it'd cold and idling in the morning. When I was stopped, I could barely hear the engine and the exhaust, but I had full power and none of the gauges looked bad. It seems to be fine otherwise. I haven't really driven it for about ten days, so maybe I'm just not used to again? Or maybe I'm just insane...

It's a catastrophic success.

may need to give the idle screw on the carb a half a turn, and as for as rattles and squeeks, give the radio knob a half a turn as well.LOL

Can't tell the RPMs because I don't have a tac. Did I mention that it's a three-on-the-tree? Sounded better today, just quiet.
