2009 Volvo 3.0 High Idle

[2009-180rx]

Hey Gents,

Bought a new ( zero hour) 2009 stingray 180rx with the 3.0 liter carbe'd Volvo Penta engine. Great engine and boat but I am having one issue.

The idle speed is about 900-1K RPM's in forward gear according to the tach. I know this is fast and it needs to be adjusted down. Is this something easy that a weekend DIY mechanic like myself can do or, should I bring it back to the dealer?

I don't have much experience with carb's but, the dealer is a good 40+ miles away, just trying to save some time.

Thanks!

Well, you could disconnect the throttle cable from the carb and see if the engine slows down. Could be a cable adjustment or a carb adjustment.
Do you want to "Bet Your Warranty" on messing with it.

Take it back and get it fixed properly.
