Hi, Thanks for the responses.
Part of the reason for my query, is that I too, would prefer to idle the engine while warming up and close manoeuvring, but from my preliminary investigation of the throttle base plate it didn't seem obvious to me how to do it. I didn't want to mess with it (if it ain't broke....), and upset the governor setting.
I backed off the throttle stop, (in the foreground of the photo) and took a few turns back off the middle screw, but it didn't made an appreciable difference. The plate doesn't touch the back screw, confusing me further...
It got me thinking that it would be smart to ask for advice, before I upset everything!
So, can I play with those screws without damaging anything?
Appreciate any comments.
PS, the prop can go from horizontal (for sailing) right through to reverse pitch. There's a lay shaft that sits on a cam to make slack for starting and charging.
