    Perhaps you are confusing the issue trying to evaluate idle speed and shifting while running on a flushette. Most everything changes when running and shifting the engine on a boat in the water. I guess what I’m driving at is if you are trying to set idle speed and needle adjustments while running on a flushette, the engine will probably stall when you put it on the water….
    All these adjustments should be made only when the engine is on the boat, in the water, and idling in gear with the correct propeller installed…
