yea my torque brace made about 15 different things vibrate that i had to track down. 3 of those were heat sheilds so check those, also exhaust, make sure all those rubber mounts are on there.

I'm going to try the troque brace thing that trochoid mentioned. I did, but it read one part wrong. Hopefully that will do it. I'll also check the nuts that are holding the brace to the engine block.

I just thought of something. I know i will need a rebuild in th future, could it be the engine or some thin? I have a dowel pin leak, would that affect anything? Should i get new motor/tranny mounts?

Mine does that too twinkletoes mine is right at 1750 though, and it stops over and below. I was told it was just harmonic vibration from the exhaust. A certain point in the engine.

If it was the driveshaft, you would vibrate horribly everytime you go to slowdown.

Its not any drivetrain, You loosened up the torque brace and it had no effect on anything. I gurantee its just the same problem as mine. No big deal.

I doubt its the exhaust causing the vibration, but you never no. I think i still tightened the nuts up a little bit to tight on the brace. I' ll redo it and let you guys know. Ya, its not that big of a deal, but than it is. So, none of the drivetrain is affecting this? Well, my drivetrain is excellent.

UPDATE: Ok, i went to go start up my 7 and i revd it up past the 1,200 rpm range then let it come back down. Then, it stayed at 1,500 rpm for about 8-10 seconds it seemed like. It was weird. So, all i did last night was loosen the bolts on the engine torque brace, and now its doing this. This makes me think now that its totally the engine brace. I'll let you guys know. My buddie coming over right now and we're going to try and solve it and put my RB muffler on.

Thats post number 1,000

ok. I think its my mixture/idle screws or something causing this. I can hear the carb too, just staying there. Is it that. I think I'll look in my manual and see if i should adjust them

Carb screws don't change by themselves, why does everyone seem to think they had a visit by the carb gnome and he fubared with the carb adjustment? It's usually something else, adjusting the carb will not neccessarily solve the problem and can make it worse. Keep reading the manual, before making any adjustments.

I didn't touch anything, but my idle screw is covered up by a hose i think. THe hose leads to something else, etc. i could've messed with my mixture screw maybe? Could that cause the vibration

Oh, i found two rubber things that are supposed to hold the exhaust and the muffler up and they were broken. I doubt this is causing it tho, maybe. The exhaust system and muffler wouldnt even reach over ther either, where the rubber things were to hold the exhaust system

Idle screw does not have a hose over it, if it does, something is not right. Keep looking.

I am guessing that you are running the stock carb setup...... it is the decel valve that makes the "vibration" that you are talking about

Nevermind about the idle screw, I found it. Its actually a throttle adjust screw, not an air adjust screw. I guess my friend and I will fis it tomorrow. My idle is actually at 1 rpm now, its weird. Hopefully this will fix the vibration too.
