[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 412494, member: 12995"] That engine looks nice and clean. I think a lot of the Mercury's idle air adjustment is around 1-1/2 turns even though some of the books may say 1-1/4. That extra 1/4 turn made a big difference on a 90 hp that had a lean "sneeze". On a side note, I've been running the synthetic premixed at 80:1 to 100:1 in several engines for the past 8-10 years with no issues so far. But I don't run around at WOT (I usually find the quietest/smoothest cruising speed) so that may make a difference. And I usually run the boat a couple times a week during the season as well.
