Default 140 Evinrude looper problems please help

I have a 140 looper that I am having a backfire problem with. I have fiddled with the dwell but have not solved the problem. At idle the motor backfires a lot and a majority of the time it backfires in such close succession it dies. I also need to get it idled down. It idles at between 1000-1100. The butterflies are all the way closed and the stator stop screw on the port side of the motor has been adjusted. I need to know how to adjust the idle down and get this backfiring stoped. The motor tuns great with throttle applied. Any help would be appreciated.

Service the recirculation check valves. Clean the pulse limiter.

If you find a lot of carbon in the pulse limiter, check back here.

What year and model #?

Where are those parts? I am pretty familiar with mechanics but I do not know about these. I will have to look at model number but I believe it is a 93.

Don't let this sound like a "Smartass" comment, but you need a manual, preferably factory.
