    98 Evinrude 50hp idle question

    I was out with a friend of mine in his boat this weekend and noticed that his motor will not idle. The motor runs fine but when you switch from reverse to forward you have to be real quick or it will die. He said he had called around and everyone told him that it is something that he will have to bring into the shop. Is there anything he can try before he has to take it into the shop? Thanks

    Does he have a tach on his boat? He could try and tweak his Idle speed up just a tad.
