hey guys it's me again with the 100 horse johnson #100ESL72R and i beleive i have a carb problem, at idle it seems like it loads up and seems very rich then when you go to give it gas from idle it'll die and not want to take off like it should, then it will be very hard starting. This engine looks like it has two carbs, it's a 4 cylinder by the way, and there are 4 slow speed adjustment needles, to me it seems like it needs to be tuned up, does it sound like that to you?? also how do i go about adjusting these 4 needles?? also when we do get it fired up and running, at high speed this thing runs perfect and sound great, it's just getting it started then getting moving from a stand still.
