Idle adjustment on a Force 125

[Kevincem]

How do you adjust the idle on a Force 125? My motor is idling at 600 RPMs. Every time I put the motor in gear the motor quits. Shouldn't it idle about 800 RPMs?<br /><br />The motor is 1988 Force 125 model # 1251X8A. <br /><br />Thanks

Should have an idle adjust screw on the carbs- usual way to adjust is turn in till lightly seated then turn out 3/4 to one full turn

to adjust the idel I do believe there is a screw around the area where the throttle cable connects to the tie bar, I would not swear to it but that would be a good place to start looking, it has to do with the tie bar to all the carbs. Hope you can find it.
