[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 406596, member: 6843"] I lightly seated the screw on the carb and backed it out to 1 1/4 turns,then i went cw in till it ran like crap which was at one turn out from lightly seated,marked it,then i went cc to near 2 full turns out from lightly seated and it started to run like crap,marked that.Then i went in the middle which was at 1 1/2 turns out from lightly seated which ran best and like a freaken sewing machine,i did push it just a hair past 1 1/2 turns to make it i mean just slighly, i mean ever so slighly on the richer side to be safe,Man i couldn't be happier i tell you by the way it runs.I of course did it in a tub in f gear and not in idle.I revved it up in n and in f gear and it was as smooth as silk,not a hiccup or hesitation to speak of.The big test will come in the water when i open it up. I also took off the lower unit and it seems like the whole thing was recently replaced but i will take it all apart to make sure,may as well while i got it off.Man the lower unit is so simple to take off.I will post pics of it when it's completely cleaned up and all the work is done.
