    idle pressure too low?

    hey guys, I have a new motor set up on alky
    running KSE tandem with bypass blocked off with the kse regulator and return on the back of the log.
    Reg came standard with a 76 jet.

    I set my race pressure at 9psi, but my idle pressure is .5psi.
    KSE doesnt have any set guideline for the idle jet like they do with the pressure screw(1/8 turn = 1 psi)

    so my question, does anyone have a recommendation on what size to jump down to? or does it even matter as long as it idles and i have fuel when i press the long pedal?

    I wouldn't worry about idle unless you have a stumble or something. What kind of pressure does it have about 3500-4000? A lot of guys power steering hardly works with those KSE's in the pits because of the ratio of the pulleys but is fine on the track.
