Folks,
I believe my idle speed is set to high for ground operations at my local airport. Closing the throttle completely, when warm, yields 780 RPM & oil pressure in the 55 PSI range.
At this setting, I find that I'm touching the brakes a bit more than I would like.
op manuals for reference:

https://www.lycoming.com/sites/default/files/(L)IO-360-M1A Oper & Install Manual 60297-36.pdf
I've reviewed/searched every page of the Lycoming Operators Manual for the O-360, HO-360, IO-360, AIO-360, HIO-360 & TIO-360 Series engine, and can find no mention of a recommended Idle RPM --- only behaviors and how to set.
So, for the hive mind, what's your Idle RPM?
Cheers!
Brian
