Hello new to this I have a 1985 Mercury 75 hp hello outboard I have a issue where it starts and idles and on the new control module you can lift a lever and increase the rpm fast idle on intial priming My issue is when I'm the water it starts and idles but when I put it in gear it stalls I have read that when you put it in gear the rpm will lower so it doesn't mess with the lower gears but if the rpm is to low it will stall I was told to try adjusting the idle a little to see if that cures the problem. My question does anyone have a procedure and know the location of the Idle adjust screw for this older Merc. Thanks for any info

You should get a service manual and check the link and synch for that motor. Simply raising the idle speed is not the best way to fix it.

All the adjustments are on, or effect the throttle arm.
