Thats hell of an engine ticking over at that speed
lol, got muddled up there! Yeah that would have to be a rotary to spin that fast lol!

Curious, I don't know how he must have done that since when I set the idle lower on veg I have to start it with the throttle down and then I have to balance the idle with the throttle until it has sufficiently warmed up enough so that it doesn't go back to a really slow idle and shaking. Can't imagine an idle that low on veg actually, must sound interesting!
On a side note, I have noticed that on diesel it sounds significantly quieter than on vegetable oil as well for some reason.
