Hey everyone, this is my first boat and I haven't done much the past few years except change the lower unit oil. I have a couple of questions about it. It runs great.
1) I found a four-socket plug next to the flywheel(?) that is unplugged. Is this a bad thing? I tried to attach a pic but the upload pic doesn't seem to be working for me.
2) I took the control box off and set it down in the seat, and now my engine idles faster. I looked and it seems the tension in the throttle(?) cable no longer allows it to fully touch the idle screw. I may be using the wrong terms this is all new to me. I adjusted the throttle cable tension so that it settled against the screw but now to go full throttle I have to take the throttle control to the floor so to speak.
3) For maintenance what do you recommend I do? I am a fast learner and pretty handy. I don't know of any maintenance that was done before 2015. Plugs? Carb? Stuff that might be entry level easy so I can get my bearings.
Thank you very much
