My Mariner 9.9 will not idle. It runs smooth and consistent at WOT. The telltale has a good stream, so cooling system is well. What is the carb setting? and where should I set the ignition advance at, What is the proper adjustment for it?

you probably have clogged low speed jets. in the carb. if it's running wot, the timing is not off.

Re: Mariner won't idle

Well I cleaned the carb and it wasn't dirty. There wasn't even any sediment in the carb bowl. The mariner still will not idle I believe the idle stop screw was moved and the idle airbleed screw is opened too far. I'm sure that 4 turns open is too much. What are the default settings for these two adjustments?:confused:
