Hello,
The other day I fired up my motor to test the water pump. All was well except the idle was kind of fast. After about ten minutes the motor was warmrd up and I thought the idle would slow down. I'm afraid if I put it into gear I could damage the drivetrain. Where is the idle speed screw? Since I have 3 carbs, does each one have it's own idle speed adjustment screw? Another thing I noticed is I get no throttle response until the handle is 1/3 to 1/2 up.
I have have a push button choke. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Tom

Re: Hi idle

your idle set screw is on the tower shaft, your throttle cable will be connected to. its got a slotted head with a lock bolt to hold it in place

Re: Hi idle

Fast idle? How fast??? Out of the water it will sound like it's going fast.
It sounds like the cables and linkage and shifter need adjusting.J
