Yer I got mine set high in perpose. So when 4wdybg I can put in 4L with no throttle and it'll still walk uphill.

Just had the engine rebuilt and it was on 500 after first service. Was a little higher before. I thought it was a little low when it came back. Will have it upped a little

G'day,
I have my 3L idle set a little bit over 500rpm but this is a little low and vibrates a bit especially when cold but I will probably only go to around 600-700rpm
Cheers, Stubbs
