saxon tour idle speed/oil pressure

Postby pigeonboy97 » Wed Aug 07, 2019 6:25 am

hey folks. 1995 saxon 500 tour, idles at about 1100 rpm, sounds a little lopey, and once its warm, if I'm at a light with the clutch in or in neutral, the oil light will flicker on, but turn off upon revving. should oil pressure be low enough to trigger the oil light at idle?
