Overview

This is a narrow how-to for owners of an older, mechanical-injection-pump Mahindra 8560 (pre-2012) who want to lower a too-high factory idle (900 RPM down to about 750). The creator removes the side panel, points out the max-RPM screw versus the idle set screw behind the injector pump, explains the tamper caps and 10mm nut adjustment, and discusses tradeoffs like cold-idle warmup. Best for owners doing their own mechanical tinkering, not newer electronic-injection models.
