Engines that run generators don't normally idle. As soon as you start one, the engine immediately comes up to operating speed, usually 1800 or 3600 RPM for North America, and 1500 or 3000 RPM for Europe. There is a governor that keeps the engine at this speed. It does have an adjustment, but this is for normal operating speed, not idle. Many models of portable generators have manuals that can be downloaded. Check the manufacturers website.
