    95 Mercury 225 3L Offshore

    I have a 95 Merc 225hp 3L Offshore carbed motor serial # 0G200991. Is there an idle speed adjustment on these motors? It seems like after it warms up, the idle speed is too low.

    Idle speed is the LAST step in the "Sync-n-Link" (Engine Synchronization and Adjustment Procedure).

    Idle speed should be 650 (+/- 50) RPM, in the water, in Forward Gear. Adjustment of idle speed is covered on page# 2-C-10 of the
    Factory Repair Manual (822900R3).

    ALL other settings and synchronization should be completed first.
