I need to replace carbs on this motor due corrision on tubes. I found a set from I believe was a 90,s 130hp, also a lopper. The carbs come with throttle bodys, linkage and air box. will these fit the 140hp?

If your 140 is the big looper they should fit

After cleaning carbs an throttle bodies, I noticed that the carbs have adjustable idle air screws at the top left of carbs. the idle and midrange jets have the same jet size # 33's, I have boysen reeds in the 140 which require richer idle, should I change the a 33 down to a 29 or 28 or will the idle adjustment screw do the same thing. Thanks for any input.
