idle problom

[DAMIFINO]

I have a 1979 mercruiser with a 4cyl, 3.0 181ci motor
just had the carb rebuilt, new points, plugs, rotor, dist cap and coil.
I finally got it to start, but it won't idle.
when throttled up it runs great but in neutral it dies.
what else can i look for.
The carb is a rochester 2 jet.

Re: idle problom

Before you remove the carb, verify that the idle mixture, idle speed and the choke were all set properly.

I take it you tried the idle adjust screw with the cable disconnected? I know,silly question...but small things get over looked..

Hey Gary,

Of the 6 Concords in NC, which one do you call home?

Re: idle problom

Have your timing checked. I had a similar problem with rough idle. Turns out my timing was off by 4 degrees. Now she runs and idles better than ever.
