While it ran it had a hunting idle below normal--between maybe 1200 and 1700, but I remember seeing a moment of almost stable ~1400 RPMs maybe once maybe twice just before I realized the mistake and turned it off. THOUGHTS?

Probably fine. Usually enough oil film left to keep parts moving for a bit. Project farm did a video of engines with no oil. They lasted quite awhile (~20 mins).
