J60TLETD. Success for me, I rebuilt the carbs using my manual. It was not hard at all and I'm really glad I got my hands dirty rather than taking it somewhere to have it done. This board gave me lots of confidence to tackle this myself. I'm feeling good.
Now, after the rebuild, I ran a can of sea foam through it as well. I reset the slow speed mixture screws as stated in the manual "lightly set them and then backed all three out 2 and 1/2 turns".
She was smoking a lot while on the lake and so I was trying to remember the post on here by Joe Reeves or possibly Dhadley about how to get these boogers set. Could someone provide the link. Something about turning the top screw in incremements until motor boggs, then backing out 1/4 turn. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, before I set the slow speed mixture screws, should I set the idle timing so that it consistently is around 750 rpm while in gear? I need a timing light for that, correct? I read about it in my manual. I was getting confused out on the lake between the idle timing and slow speed mixture screws.
Bottom line is my motor is smoking a lot after the carb rebuild and sea foam. I think I'm close, but was a little fuzzy on how the manual was talking about setting the top slow speed mixture screw at the highest idle speed possible, etc. etc.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
