do these screws control the air or fuel that enters the motor, yes. look up your motor to get the factory spec starting point. see how far off you are or not. i would say mess with it, maybe a 1/4 turn in and see. i was having the same problem and found out i got the wrong factory starting...
maybe a 2 part epoxy paint would do better, a little more expensive but holds up to very rough climate and water conditions. end result surface is slick as snot. they use it in garage, gas stations for the durability. jmo
The general rule of thumb is to mount the transducer to the starboard side, which is the down stroke of most single outboard boat propellers (right hand lower unit). This side produces the least amount of turbulence and is most efficient in delivering the best performance.
i guess my next question would be what is the starting point for the air/fuel mixture. i have read 2 different ones, 3/4 to 1 1/4 and the other was 1 3/4 to 2 1/4?
the motor runs great, idle's good and all seems fine but at full throttle on the water, sometimes it pops, if i throttle down just a hair it doesn't do it. any thoughts? carb has been cleaned and dialed in per me. one pull start.
