Second try and slow running 60

HI!! I week ago I could not get a video to post so I have now uploaded it to youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqapwR73o34 There were a few comments about how it might not be good to run them too slow. If all of the systems are working right I see no problem idling them down for a few minutes. I do have a problem in a magneto tractor when they are idled low enough that the mag impulse is tripping.
Thanks
Ken
 
Here you go.

I have never seen one run that slow. 60 s do idle nice but that is exceptional. Those girls will build oil pressure when being cranked by the starter so I would assume it has enough oil pressure to run that slow without damage.
 
I would not run it that slow. Good way to damage things with low oil pressure and foul plugs...You are running it too rich. There is a good bit of black smoke coming out of the stack. Get the operators manual and get it up to a proper idle. The original engineers made them idle fast for a reason.
