I have a great running 1976 evinrude outboard and was wondering how to adjust the idle a little lower because it seems to be idling a little fast. Pics would be great also if possible. Thanks

Theres a set screw on the carb body/linkage back it off abit. if its running great that screw only adjusts throttle back not air/fuel.
