What rpm speed is the engine ticking over at?

sorry dont no as dont have rev counter

ok, does it sound like its ticking over faster than any other cars you hear ticking over?

Depending on the ignition system (coil, plug leads, etc) you could probably get a cheap rev counter from a car accessory shop that connects to the battery and the low voltage input on the HT coil.
