Looking for the Idile Ajustment Screw? 1987 85HP FORCE

[fishthebay]

Hello:<br /><br />I did a few posts last week and had a lot of great help from everyone. THANKS....<br /><br />I have determined by checking other things out that the idle speed needs turned up slightly. I am not referring to the carb mixture screw on each carb, but rather the idile speed screw.<br /><br />Now, I do have a manual and looked through it cover to cover. I can't seem to find the screw, although they do reference it in the manual.<br /><br />My best determination is the little roller and stop nut on the bottom carb linkage bar(I HAVE 3 CARBS). My guess is that if I loosed the nut a bit and tighten the screw a bit it will work. <br /><br />Does this sound correct, or is this located somewhere else in the engine like near the side under the flywheel?<br /><br />Thanks everyone.<br /><br />Thanks everyone.

The Idle screw is NOT the little roller and stop nut on the bottom carb linkage bar.<br />The idle screw is located about 2 inches behind the above screw. You will need a 7/16 wrench to loosen the lock nut and then tighten the idle screw clockwise to speed up. ( move your throttle up and down and you will see the Idle Screw come away from the power head)
