Hello experts
Not knowing much about outboards, i am having an issue with my old ski-twin. The other day, it was running rough and opened the top and saw that the low speed idle adjustment screw had vibrated right out!! We, tried putting it back and tightened the outer lock nut, but it seems that an inner aluminum sleeve that i think should be seated permanently also came along for the ride.
The picture below shows the motor and the offending screw. Do i need to buy a new sleeve and "press" it back in, or can these be glued/loctited back in?? OR am i totally screwed up and haven't a clue what's goin on!!?? (most probably the correct response).
