I just got my boat back from the shop & when I took it out last evening it did'nt want to stay running when I was in gear @ idle say like when approaching the trailer. I did find in my owners manual that in gear idle is between 600/700 rpm. If it is indeed to slow is there a place on this this motor to adjust for this? I will say it idles very slow while in gear.
If its got boobs, tires, siding, or an outboard motor you have trouble!!!
Idle speed on this engine is NON-ADJUSTABLE (it's PCM controlled).
What was done while it was in? Spark plug condition? What plugs?
Any other maintenance/repairs performed?
