Idle setting wheels moving when suspended?
So I know when the car is idling on the ground it is supposed to stay still, but what about when the wheels are off the ground (like on a stand). Is the idle still too high if the wheels move when off the ground, but stay still when on the ground?

i can still lower the idle probably. i was just checking. so i should try to lower it until the wheels don't move whatsoever?

Your clutch/clutch springs could be getting weak if your idle is already fairly low.
If your clutch is dragging it also makes tuning nearly impossible. I was fighting that with my savage, and just got a new aluminum clutch, and it is 1000 times easier to get a consistant tune. Especially with the LSN.

I agree I've encountered this in the past and went to a slightly stiffer spring. I also put aluminum shoes in my Savage and went one size up on the springs and it idles great and launches nice without reving too high.
