Is there any detrimental effect to setting the idle low? Having a motor turning at 1,300 rpm when it can be turning at 900-1,000 bothers me. It's wastes fuel, harms the environment more, and adds unnecessary vibration.
My *assumption* is that, even though the engine will purr fine at sub 1,000 rpm, the manufacturer recommends it set higher to prevent stalls off the line and throttle blips.
