New here. I have a 1999 Mercury EFI Bluewater #OG946773. Recently purchased it used. Found the idle speed was to high in and out of the water. Checked roller cam alignment. Idle stop screw was out of adjustment. Throttle was advanced in neutral. Alined the roller to the cam. Motor idled under speck rpm on the muffs. 600rpm. motor sticker says 625. I'm sure it show be about 800rpm on the hose. Found the top set of butterflies adjustment screw wasn't touching at all. Top butterflies completely closed at all times. can I idle the engine up with the top butterflies after I adjust the TPS or is it a TPI on this model?
Note: top screw has no factory paint and the engine was supposedly service at Basspro once a year. Maybe the previous owner has did some tinkering. Btw like you guys Iam read to hit the water.
