I was able to get down into the engine room and adjust the idle stop on my
S135 Lehman's Yesterday after returning from Miami. The previous owner had
the engines idling at 1,000 rpm and I lowered them to 700 rpm. Now the
throttle levers on the Morse controls do not bottom out when the engines are
idlings. There are two screws on the side of the control levers, are they
used to adjust the control levers so that they will bottom out at idle. Or
can someone explain how to adjust the control levers.

thank you

The lever stop screws are hidden under the little metal 'Morse' name
plate on the top in between the levers.  The screw on the side is for
friction adjustment.
