2014 Mercury 4 stroke 2.5 runs but won't idle

[Alexsauve]

Hi there, I need some help because I don't know what to do anymore.... Motor starts up fine with choke on and once I take it off, It dies if I don't give it some gas. I opened up the carb, cleaned it with carb cleaner, soaked it in seafoam and cleaned it out with compressed air..... Am I missing something because nothing seams to work??? Even when I adjust the pilot set screw, nothing happens.

You need to clean it again, every tiny passage way needs to be thoroughly cleaned. The low speed/idle circuit needs special attention, there's a brass plug over the low speed screw, this can be removed (with some difficulty) and cleaned, then readjusted.

And you need to use carb cleaner.
