Hi all,

     On my 87 Westy, the idle speed seems to be too high.  This has started since it has gotten colder here in Portland.  The idle speed is anywhere from 1200-2000 RPM most of the time.  The temp gauge only goes to the top of the white section.  Seems too cold to me but the heat output is fine.  When the weather was warmer, the engine usually ran at about 900 RPM.  Is this normal or do I have a problem?  

     I also wanted opinions on the compression.  I checked it & it was 140, 140, 140, 135.  Seems to be the bottom of the scale.  Van runs pretty good with no apparent oil burning.  Thanks.
