How can I slow the idle on my 75 115hp merc? It idles at 1250-1300 RPM. I can give a little tug on the distributor and it will come down to about 900 but, the next time I rev it up it will stay at 1250 again. Is the idle adjustment part of the link and sync process, which I know nothing about? one other question, when it hasn't been started for a week or so you have to crank on the starter for 30-45 seconds at least before it will start. It seems longer but I have never actually timed it. After that it starts right up. The only thing I know to compare it to is my old 67 100hp merc which would start almost immediately cold or hot. I guess my question is, is taking that long to start common or indicative of another problem? Thanks for your help.
