High idle

[jerryjerry05]

1999 Evinrude.Carb model.
Serial # coming soon.
The comp is good, good spark.
The rpm's at idle are 2-3k if not more.
The linkage is set so the throttle pickup point is open. It won't
go anywhere to let the idle down.
How/what do I do to bring the idle down?

Seems as though there's a new trigger, stator, CDI box.
THANKS!!

The linkage can stick open. Make sure to push it closed.

 

[jerryjerry05]

It's a 200 hp. Sorry

I've tried adjusting/pushing everything.
The throttle pickup cam isn't touching the carb roller.
No matter where the linkage is set it just revs real high.

Someone said something about adjusting the idle on the carb
each carb.
I see a torx head screw that seem to adjust the air/fuel mix.
But that doesn't seem to affect the idle???
THANKS!

I am not intimately familiar with your model, but I think idle timing will control idle speed.

Got to be in a barrel or lake and needs to reach temp so it come out of Quikstart

Flywheel key ?

 

[jerryjerry05]

Racerone, would it still start if the key was off.
E200TXEDR Its a 1996.

 

[racerone]

Of course it will.----Just the timing will be off.------And no you can not find a sheared key with a timing light.

Is there a timing indicator on the block?
This motor, turns out it was a Frankenstein a piece from
this one and parts from that one.

Timing marks are on the flywheel. Pointer (bracket) is bolted on

Turns out the timer bracket is broken off

 

[Faztbullet]

TDC #1 with dial indicator, use a piece of coat hanger or stiff wire bolted near old bracket was and bend to get TDC mark. Check linkage to make sure bottom 2 carbs are complete shut and that its reaching temp to come out of Quikstart

 

[jerryjerry05]

Thanks Fazt.
Carbs set up right.
Something new:
The Frankenstein: turns out the fuel pump has a hole in the diaphragm and
the trigger was installed and basically locked in place.
A magnet came off when we removed the flywheel(had to re-glue).
Will start it today.
Hopefully it will make a difference????
Thanks

 

[jerryjerry05]

Two part epoxy for the magnet, clamped in place.
Worked good.

Started it after freeing the trigger and magnet repair.
The rpm's went down but not nearly enough.
Seems like the quick start isn't kicking out?

This is the first repair that I couldn't fix.

Usually with help from here and that other repair forum,
I can usually fix about anything.

Thanks for any help. Jerry

Where are you idling at?
Mine idles 1300-1350 on the hose.

I set mine to idle a bit under 800 (trolling) in the water and in gear

 

[jerryjerry05]

There's no tach, but from experience it's way past
the idle. I'd say 3k plus.

On hose.
No tach hooked up.

Another customer has the same motor and it runs good on the hose
and drops down like it's supposed to??

Talked to owner last night, he says he got the motor to slow down by
adjusting the air/fuel mix screws.
Says he turned them out to 9 turns out, then he said at that setting it
got hot.
I thought hey were supposed to get set about 6 turns.
He set them back at 6 and the rpm's returned?

Sounds like you need six carb rebuild kits and a set of throttle body gaskets. Throttle bodies need to be removed and cleaned as well

Also do a through inspection of the carb bodies and bowls.

Had idle issues with mine that turned out to be a hair line crack in the carb bodies.

Not visually damaged. Took a can of carb cleaner being injected into the idle bleed screw to find the crack(s).

I started at 5 turns out after rebuilding the carbs. Most are @ 5 1/2
