Quick question on 89 9.9 Evinrude

[jsimmons1970]

A few weeks ago I rebuild the carb and put it in the barrel to adjust. Got my low speed idle set perfect, purrs like a kitten when in gear. Problem is when I got to the lake, I had to give it about 10 good pulls to start it. It runs great thruout the throttle range. So the question is : Can I richen the idle circuit to help start since it may be set a little lean in the start position, then put it back where I had great idle? I think I read somewhere on here on maybe or on the Machinist site about doing this.

Thanks
James

yes you will need to tweak it at the lake and in gear. Thats normal!
