I have a 1992 Force 50 and the low idle is too fast. The throttle cam is not touching the nylon roller on the throttle plate lever. The throttle plate seems to be closed. The motor runs fine other than this fast idle problem.

Re: Fast idle

The base timing is likely advanced too far. Is the throttle cable pulling the actuator all the way back to the throttle stop?<br /><br />TMD

Re: Fast idle

Check you timing it should 30* at wot if your timing is where it is supposed to be I would check for an air leak possibly the gasket behind the carburator. Good luck, bret<br /><br />If you need further assistance please email me @ forcepower01@yahoo.com. thanks,Bret
