 Pro drive idle rpm?
What is the typical idle rpm for a 36hp pro drive? Mine wants to stall out when engaging the clutch while in the water and I'm wondering if I should bump up my idle speed.

 Re: Pro drive idle rpm?
Get your valves checked I have a new motor and had the Same prob but for the longest time I had an old long tail it was a feel you get from running it to know the throttle and clutch to not kill it

 Re: Pro drive idle rpm?
Mines idleing anywhere from 700-900 and sounds fine, a little lopey. I didn't know what the correct idle speed was. Engine only has 75 hrs.

 Re: Pro drive idle rpm?
1200 isn't too high? It won't cause damage to the clutch to engage at that speed?

 Re: Pro drive idle rpm?
1200 is fine. Lawnmowers are running 3700RPM when you kick in the clutch on them and it is the same style clutch.

 Re: Pro drive idle rpm?
I set it to 1150-1170. It seems much better. Like I said it was set to idle below 1000. I'll run it and see what happens, I bet that was the only problem.
