I bought a old jon boat and 7.5 Rude(don't laugh I only gave 400 for the package) for using on no wake lakes around here and got a question on the motor. It runs great partial throttle but will not idle unless i keep the throttle turned past the shift and fast indicators on the tiller handle. It is missing the slow speed adjustment knob ( I have one on order)
1) Just wondering if anyone knows where a good place to start with the setting once I install the knob ie: how many turns out .
2) Any ideas on the setting for the trolling speed dial at the tip of the handle I'm sure it may need some carb work as it smokes pretty good even at partial throttle maybe 1500 rpms or so(not had a chance to go WFO yet)
Model # is E8RCNR it's a 1982. Thanks for any help.
