Had my 1976 115hp evinrude rebuilt a while ago. Person said they set it fat so it wouldn't lean out again. I believe he set it too fat, how do I readjust it to factory specs

Are you sure he did not just ask extra oil in the fuel? Not uncommon to do in a rebuilt motor. Once that is used up you mix the new fuel at 50-1.

That was never installed at the factory.----Retrofitted by a previous owner.
