So I just finished rebuilding my 2056 and while I'm not done setting everything (carbs), it was idling pretty smooth around 1100 RPM. The temp on the CHT gauge raised to 300 after about 20 mins. Just checking if this is normal idle behavior. The stock temp gauge didn't go up much. Running 10/40 Brad Penn. 84 degrees and humid outside (car was in the garage)

When you sync your carbs and set idle, REMEMBER that you idle will change when the engine is hot. If you set idle while the engine is still warming up, your nice 1100 rpm idle will be an 1500rpm idle when warm.
Waiting for the engine to be warm will ensure a good driving idle, but may make starting the car a bit more tricky, since there is no choke. Zach |
