Idle and ignition key questions: 1994 Johonson 225

[pmucciolo]

The engine is running beautifully, but its idle seems a bit high @ 1050 RPM's (in the water). What should it be?<br /><br />The second question is regarding the ignition key. Can the original OMC key be located somewhere with the rubber handle on it? Should I just call the local dealer?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Paul

According to the Clymer shop manual your 225 should idle at 600-700 rpm in forward gear.

On the ignition key - Any good locksmith/key shop can make a copy. They piel back the rubber just far enough to get it into their machine.
