    1986 2 stroke 150v6 setting the pilot idle screws, and how many??

    the factory service manual give two different ways,,,1. says to turn in and back off 1.25 to 1.75 turns. 2. back out for highest rpm. the manual and microfiche's only shows one screw on the side of each carb, but seem to be 2 for each carb, one on each side?? thanks for any advice.

Also when started, doesn't want to idle down very easy, had to turn in the idle screw, and the idle timing increase helps some, but when the idle is...

    Generally, does swaping the carb setup of ex. 200hp to a 150hp make the increase?

    Wondering what is done at the factory to get a similar motor, for an example a johnson v4 85 to a johnson v4 115, or a suzuki v6 150 to a v6 250? Seems to be same block and bore and stroke? Thanks larry.

    Does changing carb/injection turn a v6/150 to a v6/175 or 200 hp motor??

    Years ago the dealer told me i could make a 85 omc to a 115 just by changing the carbs! Just wondering since a suzuki dt150 is about the same as a dt250, or at least a dt175,,, does changing the carbs increase the hp that much? Thanks so much!
