91 70h force

[oilfieldcowboy]

I have a 1991 force 70h. I am having trouble after I start it, it dies when I put it into gear, forward or reverse, how do I set the idle? I think it's to low. Please HELP!!

Re: 91 70h force

Idle speed adjustment is located at the bottom of the tower shaft - it rests directly against the motor and has a lock not at the back. Adjust the idle to between 700 - 750 rpm in the water. Do not adjust on muffs.
Also check compression and spark first to get a good indication of whats going on.
