What has been the experience of those running a Whirlwind 200RV related to engine idle? On my O-360-A1A the lowest smooth idle I can get is 650 -700. Anything below that and the engine runs rough and will tend to cut out. It runs very smoothly at 700, a little less so between 650 and 700. The engine has a newly installed Avstar 10-3878 carb. Thanks
 
idle cutoff

Should not be able to kill engine with throttle.

Also, if impulse coupled mag(s), about 650 is range where timing changes.

The engine has Slicks...so it sounds like what I am experiencing is normal, correct? Thanks
