    V-4 Looper Idle air bleed oriface - which one?

    94 120 V-4 Looper, Minlon (plastic) type carbs. I'm trying to figure out a rough idle problem and I think I may have found it... there are 2 fixed air bleed orifaces, one for idle and one intermediate. But it appears I may have gotten some of them crossed-up when I last rebuilt my carbs, maybe...

    Thanks to lots of help here and many, many hours of searching old posts, my 94 120 looper is almost where I want it to be. Here's where I am: Replaced power pack due to no spark on one cylinder, good strong spark all around now, new Champion QL16V plugs, replaced fuel filter/water separator...

    V-4 lower unit swap standard to commercial V-4

    I have bought a 94 Evinrude 120 V-4 (looper) with bad gears due to water intrusion, but I fished the boat w/owner several times prior to failure and it ran strong, so I bought it as a fixer-upper. Anyone know if a 92 Evinrude commercial V-4 100hp lower unit w/same length shaft will swap? Looks...
