Re: MERCURY 125HP CARBURETORS
As another poster pointed out, if you enabled idling on the other two cylinders, the overall idle would be too high.<br /><br />That said, there might be a way by playing with the syncronization to get the timing at idle to back off a bit, to to get it back down. I think it's cousin, the 3 cylinder 90, idles on all 3.<br /><br />What might stand in the way, is if the idle stabilizer circuit will detect too little advance and do something to compensate, thwarting your attemts to get it to idle down.<br /><br />Lastly, are you sure it's propped correctly? If it's hovering around 2000 at wakeboard speeds, and the wakeboarder can load it down like that, dropping to the next pitch down would help in both areas.<br /><br />My own boat is powered my an older mercury of similar hp and propped for it's intended use. I'm sure it wakeboards closer to 3000 than 2000, and it doesn't load down too much.<br /><br />-W
