Low Speed/high speed or Idle stabilizer

[25two.stroke]

I took the boat down to the lake. It started fine. I put a timing light on it at idle and it was showing 10 degrees after tdc. I adjusted it to 8 and turned the idle down as far as it would go without stalling. It idles around 1150 rpms in neutral and drops to 800 in gear. It ran great out on the lake and it topped out at 5600 rpms at about 42 mph. I guess i'm just going to enjoy it the way it is. Thanks for all the tips and help

I can't remember the name of the screw I turned down to allow the throttle to idle down a bit. I will post back when i look at the manual at home thanks.

tha small 10/32 screw with loc nut is tha "ONLY" thing ya turn to adjust idle speed/rpm.. NOTHING ELSE

I turned that smaller screw to set the static timing at 8 degrees after tdc. I turned the bottom one to lower the idle

"SMALLER SCREW".....That is tha ONLY screw ya turn ta do anything ta raise or lower idle speed and/or rpm.. no other screw needs ta be touched.....
idle timing numbers don't mater.. put tha rig in tha lake, in gear ta get what ya want for "idle"... you won't even need a timing light.. set it (with idle timing screw ONLY) IN THA WATER, IN GEAR TA WHATEVER MAKES YOU AND THA MOTOR HAPPY.. forget tha numbers..

Ok I will try it all again just to be sure. When I was trying to set the total timing while cranking my timing light wouldn't even flash. I think my battery is getting weak so i'm going to replace it with a 1000 CCA one and try to set it all up again. Right now though it does appear to be running well. Thanks

now you do need to use light to set MAX timing at crankin' speed with all plugs removed but grounded...
