Hi, I've got a '95 50 Hp looper and I'm trying to get her to idle down to 800 rpm consistanly. I'm not having much luck. I have the Factory Service Manual and have followed the "sync & link" to the "T". Both idle mixture screws 2-1/2 out to start. Idled down to 800 rpm in lake and adjusted timing (idle speed screw as they call it) to 1ATDC. Idle speed seems to be controlled by mixture screws NOT the idle screw which adjusts timeing. Motor is smoothest with idle mixture screws at 2 out which in turn makes the idle 900 rpm. Do I have a problem or what? Everything else is perfect but this idle speed issue!
