NA BBC/Imco Xtream Sc idle issue..
Happy New year fellas, I’ve been having a little issue the last couple summers, nothin big just more of a item of interest. I have a set of Corretti built N/A 1050cfm Carb’d 580/780 solid rollers motors 10:1, and timing locked at 34 (IIRC) in front of a set of Imco Xtream Sc drives in my Cafe. I’ve set the hot idles @ 800rpm motors run beautifully; Joe just built these the winter of 17/18. I have a little trouble when I put them in gear while maneuvering around the dock, they end up wanting to fall on their faces after too long if i dont bump the idle or put them in neutral and clean them out. Now I realize this could be a motor and/or ignition question but I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this? I set the idles at 800 as per imco’s instructions for cone clutch life but have also read 900rpm is perfectly acceptable. Thoughts? Griff? Thanks.

Had similar issue years ago with a 454 Mag that had a cam change. Wee bit to much cam and had a reversion issue at idle. Bumped idle speed up and it improved. I don't remember what the idle speeds before and after were but guessing issue with 750-800 in gear before and 800-850 after?
