    Idle Speed

    It seems like my 150vmax is idling a tad slower than it did before my phase 1 installation, I have to keep pumping the key. My primer bulb is firm, and my gauge shows about 480-490rpm. Is that where it should be? Can I raise it 50-75rpm?
    Thanks

    sticker on my engine say idle at 700 + or - 25, so sounds like you are ok at 700
