  1. I have a 90 HP Mercury (year 2000). The last couple of times out it has idled pretty rough and cut out a few times while at idle. Last 2 times out it was pretty chilly (and boat is stored in unheated garage) maybe the engine is a little tempermental but even when I let the engine run for a couple of minutes and then kicked it into forward gear the engine cut out. So I removed the cowling and on the engine I see the "Idle Screw" but my manual does not say anything about adjusting the idle or what that "idle screw" is for. Can adjusting that screw help the engine idle a little better? Does anyone know how/what adjustments can be made? I do not even know is the screw should be turned clockwise or counter clockwise to improve the engine's idle performance. Any thoughts or has anyone utilized this screw to adjust their own Mercury engine?
