can't you just raise the idle by turning the screw on that throttle thing in the back of the engine??? the one with the cable.

Does it act like it wants to die?? If it's idleing fine then don't sweat it...mine will idle @ 200 rpm all day. Keep in mind also that the stock tach is not all that accurate. If it isn't running good just double check plug connections and spark plug gap

stock idle should be around 500-700 rpm.
if it's dying when your idling then, i can't help you. my car has been doing it for a while now and nothing i do helps it.
