Holley 4160 / inboard question

[brl96]

I restored an old century resorter and put a new 4160 carb on it. The engine is an Chrysler 440. When I run it, it starts up and idles at around 1800 rpm. Do I need to turn this down. When I put it in gear, it seems like it takes off. Is there an adjustment or is that normal rpm for an inboard.

Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard,..... It oughta idle at 650/ 700 rpms at idle in gear in the water,...

Adjust it down,....

When you initially start it up, is the fast idle cam engaged? If so, punch the throttle a little to get it to come off that fast idle before doing any adjustments...

I thought the marine 4160 does not have the fast idle cam?
