Idling trouble... I'm miffed.

Nah, it doesn't even get to that point... but it does raise a possibility. I can't get it to idle anywhere under 1000rpm (12-1300rpm seems like where it wants to stay on a good day).

As for idle AFR's what should I be seeing? I did a really rough tune on the RTek and i'm seeing low 12's at idle and I think that might be really too rich since I am seeing smoke that seems to be a mixture of gas and oil being burnt off at idle (I don't think the oil control rings are bad because the smoke goes away intermittently and isn't smoking at all during cruise).
