How Hookup Diagnostic Tachometer to a Honda 50?

Post by PeteC »

My idle speed seems a little low. Does anyone know where you hookup a diagnostic tachometer to a Honda 50 outboard?

How low? idle rpm's should be about 900.........idle screw at the bottom of the carb linkage. I had to do mine once also. You want the boat in the water and in forward gear, tied up.....under load.
