Outboard turns off when in idle?

[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It will start then idle for couple of seconds then die. I have an issue when moving from a higher RPM back to idle. If I take it up to higher RPMs while in neutral, it will run fine, but when I drop it back to idle it will die. If I drop the RPM back quickly from a high RPM to idie it will most certaily die more easily than if I ease back on the throttle with a slow decent to idle. I also noticed that in neutral the cam follower and the roller is not aligned dead center with the roller (look at the photos). The outboard runs fine otherwise. I have a feeling this could be related to synch and linkage problem? Can anyone give me tips? Shift/throttle cables binding? [/FONT]

That would change the idle timing (relationship between ignition and carburetion). Install a new roller.

i just ordered a new roller. so the mark does not have to be aligned dead center with the roller?

The scribe mark on the cam must be aligned dead center with the roller when the butterflies just start to open.

installed the roller and still having same problem. does not idle unless i increase RPM for a couple of minutes then slow decent back to neutral. If i do that then it does stay in neutral. Anything else i should check?
