Been listening to my engine..
Well...after a run anywhere I eventually come to a stop. For about 1-2 seconds the engine stays at high idle, and then comes down to a nice smooth even diesely idle. It never stays high or low...always seems to come from a high idle down to a nice even idle. Never noticed this with my radio on? Is this a problem or the engine just coming down after a load has been placed on it?
It doesn't seem like a problem. |

Do not listen to your engine... turn your radio back on... this can cause all sorts of problems.... Don't ever try this again....

Put white grease on all balljoints in your throttle linkage,,, and keep the radio up high....

Keep your radio on very loud. Listening to your engine can be bad, because then you will start worrying about little things that are nothing. The only time I listen to my engine when I am starting it, so I will know once it is started so I can stop cranking .
Seriously, listening to noises can be bad. My brother worries about every noise on his car. He asks me if I hear something, then I say no. Then he asks me again, and I tell him no. Most of the time there tends to be nothing wrong. |

Ahh Greg and his white grease in the Throttle linkage. Ironically that seems to fix most every problem ppl encounter

Kyle, the factory manual recommends transmission fluid on the ball joint linkages. I use Mobil 1 synthetic trans fluid on mine all the time. I even pop the linkage off the ball and clean out the old crud from time to time with a Q-Tip or two. Lube yours quickly before you have a stuck throttle at 3500 RPM. Make sure you get them all.
