I was wondering if there is an optimal position to lock the motor with the pin that changes the angle when trim is down. Mine was set to the top hole (leg closest to the transom when lowered) when i bought it. By moving this pin to one of the other 5 holes, what will that do to my performance...

Had trouble keeping it running in between idle and full throttle. Rebuilt carbs last year, adjusted idle lever up a bit. Top carb now dumps...
