For the past couple of months, Skinny Dippin' has been dropping to such a low idle that the motor would shut off during docking. Kind of a hassle. It turns out the idle screw is stripped. Perhaps by me, perhaps not, but that isn't the topic. I have read every manual I have (and I have them all) on my 6.354M 130hp Perkins motor, and all it says is that different applications call for different idle speeds with no chart, graph, or list about what the application and subsequent idle speed is for said application.
Can someone tell me what I should set my idle speed to? And before you say it... YES... I was a member of BoatDiesel.com, but my membership ran out. I hardly want to invest $25 for this small piece of info. So if you could help a brother out, it would be most kind.
