[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 389788, member: 9937"] When I ran the motor yesterday mine did the same exact thing. When at idle it would die. I luckily have an RPM gauge attached to the motor. With the adjustments made in the photos the motor would run approximately 400 rpm's at idle far below factory spec. My motor needed to run around 8 to 900 RPMs in order to get 600 RPMs in forward gear. In order to prevent the motor from dying I had to adjust the idle speed knob on the tiller handle. Also I set the idle adjustment needle at approximately 1 1/4 turns out from lightly seated. Once I made those adjustments the motor idled at about 900 RPM and in forward gear would run approximately 675 rpm's. [/QUOTE]
