I have a 50 hp Johnson from 1970 *I believe, it's the 50 anniversary edition. Anyways, it just had a total carb rebuild by a mechanic. Running great now; however, there is a dial at the front of the motor that says rich/ lean. When putting on the tarp to cover the boat I bumped it out of place and I have no idea where the mechanic had it.
Where should I place this dial and how significant is its placement in the terms of boat operation? Can I hurt the boat motor now that it's off the position he had it? Any insight into this would be great. Should it be placed more towards rich/ lean/ or in the middle?
