[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 408931, member: 9937"] On another note, if I kept the idle at around 1,200 rpm in neutral it would not die and fire right up, in gear it would run at 800-900 rpm and not die. I was able to obtain this by adjusting the linkages. However, after doing so it would cut out at full throttle. So I readjusted the linkages and then it wouldn't idle. So I feel the problem may just be the proper use of the idle speed knob. I had an 88 Johnson 25 before this. Thing was bullet proof. Performed a link and sinc, which is extremely easy in those motors. Basic maint performed and it ran like a champ. This merc is making me grow grey hair, and is actually putting a strain on my relationship with my fiancé lol. When I can't figure out an issue it is on my mind 24/7. [/QUOTE]
