4.3
I have a 1992 200 Overnighter that I just put in the water. Does anyone know the recommended rpm for it's idle? It was at 600 - 650 rpm or so, but that seemed too low and it would stall when pulling out of the slip. Turned up the idle and now it idles a little too high and clunks into gear. Don't want to be going back and forth with high low.
Once I get the idle to specs then see if possible that choke pull off causing engine staling. Also I realize that it is a carbed engine and it needs a good warmup period. If anyone knows of a good webpage to locate this info that would be great.
Thanks
