ADJUSTMENTS
IMPORTANT: Synchronization and linkage pro-
cedures MUST be followed in sequence and be
performed exactly as described to ensure consis-
tent engine idling and smooth operation through-
out the RPM range.
IMPORTANT: If equipped, remove both remote
control cables from the outboard before perform-
ing these adjustments.
Preliminary Adjustments
TILLER MODELS
Turn the idle adjustment knob counterclockwise to
the full SLOW position.
Remove the pin retaining the cable connector to
the throttle lever.
Turn the connector clockwise until it seats. Turn
counterclockwise no more than one-half turn to
align it with the throttle lever. Install the retaining
pin.
The throttle cable bracket must be flush with the
inside edge of the threaded cable. To adjust,
remove the screw and turn bracket. Install screw.
Close the throttle completely so the idle speed
screw is against the stop. The center of the cam
follower roller should be halfway between pick-up
mark and the end of the throttle cam.
TILLER AND REMOTE MODELS
To adjust, advance the throttle to wide-open posi-
tion and adjust idle speed screw. Turn the screw
in to move the cam closer to the roller and out to
move cam away from the roller. Close the throttle
