I have an 85hp 1977 evinrude. i set the idle rpm's at 900-1000 and the engine idles ok but when i shift into geer it drops down and quits. I set it at about 1500-1800 and when I shift into gear it drops to 900-1000 and runs fine. Do I have a problem and what is it.

Re: Idle Speed

check your compression, you probably have atleast one low cylinder.
