questions about idle speed

my 617's air cleaner (new bracket/mounts) shakes quite a bit at idle but when i press the pedal to increase the idle too a few hundred rpm it doesnt shake at all its quite steady. is this normal? what should i do?


In this video u can watch the breather tube. You'll see it @ idle and when i bump up the throttle.

Thanks

Search here for the rack damper adjustment. If your compression is good, it seems to be a prime candidate for a shaky idle.

When I adjusted that Rack bolt, made the car far easier to start up in the morning. Hit me in AIM and I'll get ya the scoop.
