Not a question of honesty ... I just don't consider idle rpm all that
important. What earthly difference does it make if it idles at 1500 rpm, as
long as it keeps running ? I don't plan to spend that much time idling
anyway ...
My TR3A tach is probably wildly inaccurate (it's never been calibrated and
they do go up as they age), and it reads anywhere from 800 rpm to 1500 rpm
at idle, depending on how hot the weather is (and how hot the radiator is).
Strictly NBD, IMO.
I think we've all been spoiled by modern cars, with fuel injection and
active idle rpm compensators. The old SUs just never did hold idle rpm spot
on.
