I know this isn't really the right forum to ask this question but oh well. Someone has to know something about these 2 stroke outboards. I recently had to steering arm replaced about about a week ago so I took it out for a test drive today and noticed that after they replaced it the the idle speed was too low once the engine got warmed up. It stalled 3 times getting to the dock. Not a place you want to stall. Instead of bringing the boat back and complaining it looks like there is an adjustment knob on the throttle cable. Is this the adjustment knob for the idle? look like I can just turn the black plastic knob that looks like a gear to give it more fuel? Is this right? There are two throttle cables the top one is the one that moves and the bottom one wasn't moving. But anyways is that top black knob the correct one to bump the idle speed up just a tad? Thanks. PS they had to remove the powerhead to replace the steering arm so they probably messed up the setting since I bet they needed to remove those throttle cables to take the powerhead off.
