You can adjust it as stated in chap 30-300

This makes me think this is still a linkage adjustment problem rather than anything else
Yes, The engine stops with the stop lever. I don't have chap 30/300 in my service manual, but after reading through chap 07.1.4 (410/1), it occured to me that something may be happening at the regulating shaft along the firewall.

Is the car trying to self launch a little at the 900 indicated or does the idle at 900 indicated sound fast to you?
This is the same amp that read 750 rpm for the last engine in the car and that engine idled noticeably lower. It's pretty smooth at 900, I just don't like the frequency of vibration when it's that high. The car isn't trying to launch itself, but it does feel like I'm holding the brake down firmer than usual.
