Re: Tuning Dual Carbs??
I can feel your wanting to get out on the water as soon as possible, as I was the same way (still am!). But a cup of coffee and some time spent with the manual will save heartaches down the line. As Roscoe said, no high tech here, but the "ducks" really need to be in a row. Basically, turning screw "y" in without adjusting screw "X" will mess things up. The way the throttle shaft must be positioned is complex. Not sure on your motor, but on mine, just finding the right screw for the idle is hard..they all look good, but the wrong one will set the timing off instead. And one more VERY important thing...do NOT remove the screw going into the side of the gearcase to drain the oil. It will let the shift yoke fall down, and big bucks to dig everything out and replace it (its the little things in the manual that save you from some choice words). If your motors like mine (my manuals in the shop and I'm not), its WAY under the nose cone at the front, and just a small 1/8th Allen head screw. Thats the puppy to remove. Don't give up hope, you will be floating happy b4 ya know it...keep us updated.
