Default Help with idle speed adjustment

I tried to compare other videos on youtube but I just cant tell if my idle is too slow. 1000-1050rpm is what the shop manual says. Any help would be appreciated

Sounded pretty good to me. Pick up a cheap used tack on fleabay and wire in some alligator clips to adjust idle speed, then put tach on shelf till its needed another time. YD

I agree... just sounds a tad low, there's a few little hiccups like it's just on the edge of giving up.
