I am trying to get the idle down on my 77 mer 115 but the throttle cable does not allow you to retard the timing enough to do so. With the throttle cable barrel adjusted all the way back the distributor will only retard enough to allow the engine to run at about 2000 rpm. How do i advance the distributor forward more without advancing the timing to get more adjustment out of the distributor?
