I agree with fleetwin the lower unit needs to be a little lower in the water try putting something under your water bucket or a deeper bucket. You wouldn’t want the motor not to be circulating water that could burn it up by overheating it when running.
Your motor actually sounds like a decent idle with the lever in the middle of the range which as fleetwin said it may need a tad of syncing (the throttle cam may need adjusted to come out a bit more where it rides on the butterfly shaft or the butterfly shaft might need bent (especially if someone before you bent it) in a tad if throttle cam is already all the way out to get yours to idle with the lever in a slower position but it actually sounds like decent idle so I suspect your slow speed adjuster is pretty close) I don’t have the manual for that motor but someone reading it will. What makes this motor a little different than a lot of newer motors is it stays in gear. You can rotate the motor 180 degrees when its on the boat for reverse. Having said that they idle a tad higher than a newer motor that is capable of not being in gear when idling. When yours is on a boat and the boat is moving on the water it helps the motor to run a bit slower because the boats movement is helping the prop to keep moving at a more constant rate at lower speeds.
I hope that helps,
Joe
