[AT] Corn Picking and storage.

Larry I knew that had to be correct from observation but to the best of my 
knowledge had never seen it written or heard any one discuss it.

Very good, Charlie. Fast idle is full throttle (governed speed) with no load 
on the engine.



That's the speed you're supposed to use for main jet adjustment on a tractor 
carburetor.



But with injected engines, computerized control, non-adjustable main
jets, and a bunch of other bells and whistles, the term is being
forgotten or redefined.



My wife commented to me earlier this week about the former location of
the last carburetor shop we had in our town. She helped me deliver our
old Ford Courier to that shop for a tune-up on the day before we
decided to buy a new pickup. That was in 1997. The shop was razed a couple 
of years later.
