Idle speed adjustment 1976 115hp Johnson

Just got the motor and haven't gotten a manual yet, but just need to make a quick adjustmenet to the idle speed. I looked around a bit but didn't see any adjustment, is there one or do have to adjust the cables? Thanks.

should be a screw just behind the throttle cam, on the side of the powerhead. tighten for more and loosen for less<br /><br />i think

Thanks myoutboards I will check it out tonight. I think I just need to raise it about 100 RPM or so, right now it idles at about 700 in neutral and 600 in gear, I think that may be a little too low, every now and then when docking going from forward to reverse right at the dock it will stall when I just hit reverse, making docking not so fun when you look like one of those idiots who cuts their motor when docking and crahses into the dock with no control. Thanks again, Mike.
