Finl Adjustments IMPORTANT: Bot MUST BE in the wter nd engine t norml operting temperture to ccurtely check nd djust idle speed nd mixture. Cruretor should e set so tht engine idles s smoothly s possile, with ot in the wter, engine norml operting temperture nd drive unit in forwrd ger. To djust idle speed nd mixture, proceed s follows: IMPORTANT: DO NOT ttempt to compenste for other engine prolems ( incorrect ignition timing, fulty ignition components, low compression, vcuum leks, etc.) with cruretor djustments. This will only cover the prolem, which must e corrected if engine is to chieve mximum fuel economy nd performnce. 1. Connect shop tchometer to engine. 2. Strt engine nd run t 1500 RPM until engine reches norml operting temperture.! WARNING DO NOT leve helm unttended while performing idle speed nd mixture djustments, following. BE CAREFUL NOT TO ACCIDENTALLY ACCELERATE ENGINE WHILE PERFORMING ADJUSTMENTS. 3. With ot in open wter, plce remote control in forwrd ger, idle position. ADJUSTING IDLE MIXTURE SCREW To djust the idle screw correctly, the throttle pltes must e just out closed. To mke sure this is done do the following: 4. Disconnect the throttle cle 5. Reset idle speed (RPM) screw so engine idles t 550-600 RPM in neutrl ger 6. Adjust idle mixture screw 7. Reset idle speed screw until engine idles t 550-600 RPM in forwrd ger. 8. Adjust nd connect throttle cle FLOODING AT IDLE RPM If engine is flooding t idle RPM, check the following: 1. Ignition system prolem cusing engine to run rough 2. Idle mixture screw djusted incorrectly 3. Bd needle nd set 4. Incorrect flot level or flot drop MERCARB 2 BARREL CARBURETOR - 5B-7
