    Default Idle adjustment on 2001 3.0 Mercruiser

    How do you increase the idle speed on a 2001 3.0 Mercuiser? I see an adjutment screw on the carb but it does not appear to increase the idle speed.
    Thanks for this,
    André

    "C" is the idle speed adjusment screw. You may also have to adjust the cable by turning the barrell on the cable one direction or the other.
