1999 150 EFI Idle RPMs

[GlasV162]

Hello,
If anyone can help with this I'd appreciate it very much. What is the correct RPM for a 150 EFI at idle? Mine is currently running between 500-600 rpms in neutral in the water, and it seems like that's a bit low. If that's too low, is there a way to adjust it? It drops about 100 RPM when I shift into gear. Thanks.

Follow your throttle cable to your engine, there is a screw on the throttle lever on the side of your engine that sets your idle rpm. I have mine set to idle at 900-950 in neutral so idle in gear isn't so low.

Thanks. Is there any adjustment that I have to make to the cable itself?
