    Thanks everyone for you input………much appreciated!
    Thanks too Frank for confirming from Evinrude literature that 650rpms is the figure IN GEAR.
    I will be taking part in a Classic Wooden Boat Parade at the weekend and there will be a lot of boats mllling round slowly at close quarters so it will be good to get the idling sorted.
    FOOTNOTE.
    I took a run out on the lake this afternoon and did some adjustments which made a big improvement. May I add that the motor starts and runs beautifully and is always been kept in top condition.

    Thanks again everyone
