I just picked up a sweet 25hp 2stroke merc.Gave it a tuneup and it runs awesome except a few minor things i need to ask here.
Well it seems like the idle is a hair high in neutal.I know it has the choke knob that can adjust the idle but by the sound of the motor it is a hair to high.How do i knock down the idle a hair.Maybe i'm not waiting enough time for it to warm up as i would think as the motor gets warmer the idle will drop or is that false?
Also the water seems to just drip out for a few minutes then it seems like it comes out hard like it should.I know these run on a thermostat but is it normal for it to just come out like a fast drip then go out like a stream?Maybe it takes a few minutes for the thermostat to open up.It is a new impeller so thats not it.
If anyone can help me on these issues i would be grateful.
