"I have a 1982 Mercury 70hp (3cyl) sn# 6164457 and I cant find any information as to how the throttle cam connected to the throttle shaft of the carburator is supposed to be adjusted. I know that the idle adjustments are to be made in forward gear under load. I have attached a illustration of the parts. Does anyone know the steps to take to make this adjustment?

Solved. Figured out this shoul

Solved. Figured out this should begin to open carbs somewhere between 3-4 degrees BTDC.
