    idle screw for 2001 yamaha 130hp 2 stroke

    Hi all

    Motor is due for a service in about 15hrs but was hoping to make do with a small tweak until then.

    Motor is occasionally stalling at idle (in gear), real PITA when lining up the trailer to idle on to it.

    Thought a minor tweak on the idle screw might see me over until next service. Really only needs an extra 50 - 100 rpm I reckon.

    Can anyone point me to the idle screw. Perhaps a photo or screenshot from workshop manual. I'm sure I could locate it eventually but hoping to avoid the 'trial and error' approach.

    Thanks in advance.

    Small stainless screws with tension springs around the threads located at the top of each carberator next to the brass coloured plug.

    M8 , if idle specs are "suss" why not just use your "fast idle" lever temporarily.

    130 only has 1 idle screw so ???????????????????

    STBD side of carbies the screw in question needs a small flat blade screw driver to be inserted from the top of the carbies and screwed down to increase RPM it is stainless steel and will have a spring between the screw head and the carby body
