What rpm does streetport idle at?
Just wondering waht rpms should a carburated streetport idle at. Mine doesnt seems to want to idle at 1200 and nothing lower. I tried to lower it and it just wants to stall.
Thanks, Ed

Depends on your carb and ignition and your exhaust system.
My streetport idled all day long at 600-800rpm.
My P-port *would* idle at 600 but I can't get a carb to meter fuel properly at RPM that low. With EFI it'd be no problem. With an open exhaust, it'd probably be no problem too, since the reason the carb isn't metering fuel very well is because there's pretty much no vacuum down there!
What ignition timing are you running?

don't need that much timing ed. most guy do stock + 5*. Put it on the dyno to see how little more hp you get when increasing timing. I bumped my bridge from 27.5 to 30 and saw like 5hp. Not worth being in the danger zone for 5hp. Get a bad tank of gas or forget to reduce timing when hot out and blammo. Of course my bridge uses ceramics and they like more timing. Brad.
