I have just gotten a 01' merc 50hp 4 stroke. It is carburated and a 4 cylinder. It's idling very high, where can I adjust the idle? And also it has a belt squeal occasionally. I see it only has one belt which is a cog belt. Is there any adjustment for that? It seems to slip once it warms up. Thanks for any help.

I see that the cog belt is showing a little bit of wear on the bottom of it. as the belt sits (not running) it looks like clearence is ok. My guess is warm it must move down and rub. How can that be fixed?
