Post 35 hdr idle
I have a new 35 hdr and it will idle fine in the driveway and garage start right up at the launch but as soon as it’s in the water it’s almost impossible to start and won’t idle for anything. I can pull up to the launch start the motor load the boat up launch while the motor is idling but as soon as I put it in gear it wants to die then I get to my hunting spot Sgt the motor off few hours later motor doesn’t want to start and won’t idle I try to take off it wants to die or does die out and when coming in from running I let off the throttle the motor dies. I’ve adjusted the idle in the garage and stuff but it always seems to idle at a different level when I put it in gear I can watch the rpms drop until the motor shuts off if I try to give it gas it just dies out. This is a new motor 23 hours on it and I’ve never used gas with ethanol in it.
Thanks

Have you adjusted the tab connected to the governed idle spring?

Also, valve lash probably needs adjustment.

I haven’t adjusted the tab and I’ll have to see if I need to adjust the valve lashing, this is my first real mud motor so I’m assuming it should be able to idle both in nuteral and in gear all day long with no problem at all right?

Correct, but it won't be the same rpms in gear and out. In gear will be lower.
