I bought a 1986 GlassMaster with a 1974 50 hp Evinrude. The guy showed me it running and didn't think about it but he tapped the warm up lever down til it got to an idle and continued to put the boat in forwards and reverse. I tried putting the boat in the water yesterday and it wouldn't idle for me. I have the manual for the engine but I'm confused on the idle problem. The manual says there is a low speed idle adjustment on the top of the carburetor that is covered by a plug. Is there a recommendation on getting the plug out without damaging anything? The book even said something about synchronizing adjustments. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
