Small problem 9.9 Evinrude

[Lisfisher]

Hi, Jim from CT here. I have a 1995 Evinrude 9.9 hp outboard E10ELERB, recently installed a new cam follower/roller assembly, the old one snapped at the bottom curve where they normally break. So I put the part in but I am not sure how to "synch" that screw in the assembly {sets idle speed?}. Do i just turn it clockwise until the idle sounds good? I dont want to snap the new one so thought I'd check here. Thanks!

You want the throttle plate to open as the roller and cam mark bicect

Hi, not sure what you mean. Is there a mark on there i need to look for?

I think I got it. I turned the screw in until the motor got to the point where it idles nicely without stalling.

That is not how you do it. Look on the cam for a line, you want the roller to start opening the carb at that point. If you turn the screw to far it will just break again.

Ugh, ok I'll take a look thanks for the warning!
