Don't Want to Start it Lean!

[TC777]

Carbs clean. My low speed jet doesn't have a set needle. It has a screw plug. My high speed jet has a drain plug. Are both these jets fixed? Or is my low speed adjustment the screw plug. When I disassembled the carbs everything was seated (the jets and the plugs). Thanks for the help. I don't want to fire it up and it be running lean.

What is the year and HP of this mystery motor?

My motor has fixed jets for both high and low speed. Mine is a 1973 65 HP. Wanna give us a hint of what motor you are talking about?

Does anyone know? The manual I have doesn't specify. I've tried to google it, with no results. Just don't want to mess it up. Thanks.

Yes, they are both fixed jets.

Go to http://shop2.evinrude.com and browse to your model number. You can look at exploded diagrams of your carburetor there. All 4 models of that HP and year have fixed jets.
