the idle adjustment screw is all the way in and i still need to idle a little higher. its at about 600 rpm in neutral but when put in gear it will sometimes stall. i have synced the linkages so that at 5deg the throttle cam is just touching the throttle lever and the roller is in the center of the mark as stated in the manual. should i just get a slightly longer adjustment screw? it appears to be the origional. is there something that wears out on these things that im not seeing. its a 115esl73m. motor runs great otherwise and starts great.
