Engine RPM's

[G-MAN74]

My engines are not running at the same RPM's. There is around a 1000 RPM difference when I have the throttles together going around 30-35 MPH. Could the throttles need syncing?

Or is that normal?

it's not uncommon, my throttles are usually a little offset when running the same RPM's, it doesn't bother me enough to try to fix it,

you have some room to adjust either at the engine or under the throttles,

Thanks for the reply. That's good to know.

It’s pretty easy to synch them by adjusting the throttle cable and can usually get them pretty close but up to if you want it just live with it or not - bothers some people more than others. I spent about 20 min on it and got within 100-150 rpm and called it good.

Keep in mind, too, that the analog tachs are sometimes off by a couple hundred RPM or so. You can test it by getting the engines in sync sound-wise and see if the RPMs are the same on your tachs.
