[QUOTE="J.P., post: 227465, member: 5999"] the idling RPM should go down(or up, depending which way you turn) with a few turns of the idle adjustment screw. you should do this while the engine is running so that you can easily dial in on a good idling RMP. i'm not familiar with your motor, but the idle on my 2hp motors can be adjusted without removing the cowling. can be done in the garage, but better if your boat is on the water so that the lower unit is submerged at the normal operating depth. if that doesn't solve the problem, maybe your carb needle is loose or needs to be adjusted. i have never experienced a loose carb needle on an outboard before, but it happened on my dirt bike. super scary. :shock: [/QUOTE]
