120 FORCE bad idle after warmed up

[jamestech2003]

I have a 96 force 120hp I drive around for awhile everything works fine at first. Starts up okay, idle is fine, rpm are good at high speed. When I shift it back into neutral It makes all sorts of noises , sounds like nuts and bolts are fling all over the place, plus it idles rough. Then if I shift it out of neutral in forward or reverse it goes away or if I leave it alone it will go away after a few minutes.

First id make sure my shift cable and linkage is adjusted proper. With motor off shift forward go to prop try and spin,find neutral then spin,find rev spin. You might need an adjustment. Fuel is usually the problem
