My 9.9 idles too fast

[Vollmer]

At idle it runs at about 3.0 mph. I'd like to be able to get down to that 1.8 range. Any ideas? Has a 3 blade prop. Would I be better off going with a 4 blade?

I will try and mess with the idle, and see if I can get it down a bit.

Holy cow. 1mph should be idle speed. Maybe linkage needs adjusting.

Id be willing to take a look after the rules meeting Saturday.

Gotta be in the throttle linkage because I've never had one idle much faster than about .8-1 mph

 

[eyexer]

there is an adjustment screw that you can screw out to let throttle close more. Its just a stop

 

[Petras]

yup, should be just a simple screw adjustment. 3 mph at idle is hauling lol, my 200 yammi at idle is 3 mph....

Perhaps you should try casting and refrain from destroying the Earth.

Much appreciated.
