Congratulations, Joe!  A great feeling when it first fires up.

 

You didn't say whether your prop was on or not.  I find that my idle setting will cause my engine to idle close to 4500 rpm without the prop load.  With the prop it idles around 1600 rpm.

 

No, Ed. No prop at the moment. That’s good info though. I didn’t think that the prop would make that big a difference. I guess I’ll have to face my fears and put the prop on!
