Motor: 1994 Force 40hp (serial # 0E067660)
[FONT=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif]I bought the service manual jerryjerry recommended and am trying to adjust the idle speed. The idle is high so I turned the screw counter clockwise to lower it. However, it has no effect because the linkage on top is holding it in place (please see photo), and looking at the end of the idle speed screw, there's a gap that I am not sure should be there. I was going to adjust the linkage in the second arrow but stopped because I was not sure if I should be touching it? Please advise.
Thanks!
