I have a 92 Looper Evinrude 220 HP outboard and I just replaced the power pack. I checked the part number and it looks correct. After replacing the Power Pack, I noticed that the idling RPM jumped from about 1000 RPM to 1800 RPM while the gear is in neutral. Is it safe to assume that I have gotten a bad Power Pack? Does the power pack have an effect on Idling RPM? I want to make sure before returning this thing back to the manufacturer. Thanks

Re: Evinrude looper 200 HP Idling Too Fast in Neutral
Welcome!!If the pack was bad before the linkage may have been off to compensate. Make sure everything is set correctly.If you're running it on the hose (no backpressure) and it's in Quick Start the rpms will be higher. As it warms up they'll come down.On land and not warmed up it may well be normal at 1800.
