Sky blue, my Super Dexta idles at 600rpm and has full throttle at about 2150rpm. New Performance Super Dextas have full throttle at 3000rpm. Also mentioned somewhere some Super Dextas have been opened up to 2600rpm, apparently without any adverse effects :mrgreen: TSG.

with this info ill have to try and get this set
properly, it revs up ok but the idle seems to come down so far and then the
rod sticks, the hand throtle is fully up but to get it idle properly i have to get off and
push rod behind the pump forward this reduces it to a nice tick over,
thanks for your replys on this . sky blue

My super dex idles at 600 rpms and is a very pleasant and smooth idle.... I could idle around the orchard all day long and drink cold ones if there wasnt so much work to be done..... hehehe On the other end of the spectrum I have to run it at 2300 rpms to get the proper voltage out of my PTO powered AC generator.... This being said, I am using a reproduction tach made in India.. Not sure if its accurate.... :roll:
