Mercury 25 HP Carb Idle Adjustment: Can I Get It Right??

This is the 3rd video of me working on my 1991 Mercury 25HP outboard motor. Replaced the carburetor in 1st video, tried getting it to idle in 2nd video, now finishing up!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video and referencing Martin Marina's adjustment video! I'm back on the water.

[@fishincommish]

Glad to hear it!

Should be 2 1/4 turns out on the air fuel screw

[@mikaelarvidsson2980]

Service manual says 2 turns then find the highest revs =)

[@darrellryan2337]

I have one of the screw should be from 2 to 2 1/4 out and they do run a little rough yours sounds really good to me

What's the video you watched to figure this out?I have Merc 6HP that I'm trying to get carb adjusted correctly.

[@fishincommish]

@airquad1929 I think I mentioned it in the video, not sure. Another person commented it was Martin's Marina

Thermostat open fast

I have the exact motor doin the exact same to me just put a new carb kit in and I can’t figure out how to get it to idle without shutting off I’m missing something I’m stumped

[@fishincommish]

I tried the carb kit. Didn't work...had to buy a new carb, cost me over $400...

[@mikaelarvidsson2980]

idle screw, mixture screw, check sparkplug spark -> still not working rebuild carb, check fuelpump membrane and check compreression
