Need guidance on idle.
Motor is a 2011 35hp gdsd. I have had my valve lash checked/adjusted and carb cleaned adjusted. Had trouble with idling before having work done. Had it “fixed” and after 1 trip it’s back to not idling. Give it a little gas and it’s fine but let off the throttle And it jumps down to 6-700 rpm and slowly falls till dying. Should I just adjust the idle screw or mess with the governed idle spring .

Re: Need guidance on idle.
Stock carb ???
If yes - do you still have an idle spring - or has it been lost ???

Re: Need guidance on idle.
Adjust the idle to be at 1250 out of water, then adjust the air fuel mixture. Readjust the idle if necessary to 1250. Report back.

Re: Need guidance on idle.
I’ve done 2 things to fix idle.
1. Pull the slack out of the throttle cable (1/4”-1/2”) 2. Turn idle screw. In my case no more than 1/4 turn. If you turn too much you’ll know it when you crank it up.

Re: Need guidance on idle.
Adjust that screw while it's running after it's warmed some. Can't set to a specific rpm if you adjust it while it's off. Air mixture screws too. Can't see if they're correct without it running.

Adjust after it has warmed up, too.
