    1994 E120TLERC air mixture adjustment

    I just rebuilt 2 of the 4 carbs on my 1994 E120TLERC (other 2 on deck). I pulled the air mixture screws during the cleaning. I noticed one was about 2 & 1/2 turns of seat and the other was maybe a 1/4 of a turn off. Is there a good starting point to back them off? or should I return to what...

    Excessive carbon? oil? in exhaust housing? Evinced E120TLERC

    Dropped the lower unit to replace a water pump and noticed a lot of carbon or oil deposits in the exhaust housing. Do I need to do anything about this? Should I just scrape some of it out? I am afraid that cleaning might cause something to get clogged elsewhere. What about the upper portions...
