I have a '76 Mercruiser 165 L6 with a One drive.
It has a Rochester 2GC carb and I just rebuilt it myself. The problem is I can't seem to get it to idle high enough. Idle mixture screws are 1 1/4 turns from seated.
With the idle screw turned all the way in, I'm not even getting 500 rpms. When I removed the clip that keeps the screw from vibrating out, I was able to turn the screw in a tiny bit more and was then able to get the correct idle speed.
Is there something wrong with my carb that I am having to turn the screw ALL the way in to get a decent idle speed?
