With the Mercontrol in neutral how do I tell looking at the engine when the throttle is in idle position. I do not have the old cable and I’m trying adjust the new cable but I’m not sure where my idle position is for the throttle. As the throttle changes I see the dis. Turning but not sure where to use as neutral position for the throttle. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
There is a screw that is the stop for idle, turn the dist CW until it stops this is the idle position adjust the brass barrel so that it fits into the holder when the other end is attached to the actuator arm.850-controlsetup.jpg
