Carbed should be 1100 to 1250. However, if it doesn't load up at 900 I would leave it there.

should be 1100-1200. i would personally turn it up. if you ever get in water it probably won't idle under the water at that low. there is a screw on the bottom of the carb to turn and it will turn up the idle.
