can not go above 4 or 5 rpm's is this a problem or does the contour have something that save gas so it does not let you go in a high rpm. LOL - 5 RPMs??? That is certainly not normal and I'd venture to say that would even be lower than a Harley chugging away at idle. Normal idle is around 750 RPMs.

Wisecracks aside, mine doesn't do that. I can run it up to redline regardless of the fuel level until I'm out of gas.
