Cruise at 40 miles per hour = 1300 rpm

Cold start, engine rev to 1535 rpm at 50 degrees outside temperature.
Most seems about right. It might be an outside temperature thing, but the idle seems a little low compared to what I see. I am at 895 rpm when temps are stable, in cold Washington at about 158 degrees.
