Motor idles lower after cruising and sometimes stalls out

[meddo]

My '75 115Hp inline 6 is now running great. It starts right up and idles around 700-750 in the water. I am only having trouble sometimes when I have to slow way down to a crawl in a no wake zone after cruising for a while. It idles much lower then, at around 450-500. I have to use the warm up lever to stop it from stalling. I'm thinking it has to do with the idle mixture, since there is a diference between how lean/rich it wants the fuel depending on if the engine is warm or cold. If I am correct, how should I go about "fine tuning" the mixture?

Thanks,
Mike

Well I re-read Clams link 'n' sync procedure, and see I was supposed to warm the engine up before adjusting the mixture screws. I'll give it a go tomorrow after work.


Answering my own questions again,
