Well used to poking around old 2 strokes but this is a different kettle of fish altogether. If anyone has one or I suppose any of the recent small Honda engines that could advise, preferably with a pic, I'd appreciate it.Idle speed adjustment.

Idle speed adjustment.
Got a Honda 15hp 4 stroke engine (2/3 years old) on the back of my Longliner. I just want to increase the idle speed on it a small bit as it doesnt sit at tick over too well. Popped the lid off and had a nosey and was somewhat mystified..... Well used to poking around old 2 strokes but this is a different kettle of fish altogether. If anyone has one or I suppose any of the recent small Honda engines that could advise, preferably with a pic, I'd appreciate it.

It was just the idle speed setting that was a little low Conor, it wasn't quite where I expected to find it but I found it after a poke around and half a turn later engine is running (touch wood) as sweet as.... No lumpy idling or ten minutes warm up required before setting off. Problem solved and not a bottle of WD40 or cable ties in sight.... Cant get over how economical that little Honda is. You wont break any speed records with top speed around 10 knots on the Orkney with 2 aboard but it burns absolutely nothing. Did 12 miles at the weekend on €5 of unleaded....
