Idle rpm

Post by rollingpinz »

Hello

I just installed an SAV tach and at idle it reads 750. Is that normal? It’s been 15 years since I’ve had a pinz and even then, it didn’t have a tach.
My gut says it feels a little high.

I've run my various Pinz's between 750 and 900 rpm depending on type of ignition (stock, Pertronix or PinzSSI). No problems encountered.

I'd use an optical (reflective) tach to verify the RPM as many of those dashboard gauge tachs aren't super accurate. The reflective tachs are pretty cheap, too.
