Something or nothing.

Got the girl out of the shed today, started fine after the battery issue but noticed a few things.
1. Tickle on idle - should I be worried..

How long has it been running before the video was made and long long had it since it was started? Was it in storage? Sounds to me like a lifter that has drained and needs to refill again. Anyone else, @Lee @t-tony?? JIM

If when you push the throttle it disipear, it's a lifter.

Just out of shed after standing since October. Sorry what is a 'lifter'?

A lifter sits in the top of the engine between the cam and a rocker arm. It pushes up on the arm opening and closing a valve.
They are charged with oil to remove any slack but can drain if the engine's stood it may be one thats yet to re charge.

Lack of use maybe.

Sounds like tappets? Can't identify the engine, but my S54 needs shims/adjustment every couple of years. A good run might help if it's been standing a while?
