    1969--85hp Starflite, model 85993E possible carb swap?

    Mid range and idle are rough, WOT is very good though. I previously had a sticky timer base due me misrouting one of the points wires. And i put in new L20V spark plugs. The original manual says L19V plugs. I will recheck compressions today.

    Are the carbs for the newer mid 70's 85hp that don't have idle/slow speed mixture screws interchangeable with earlier models? Where the carbs with fixed mixture less troublesome? Whats the correct/recommended spark plugs for the 1969 85hp?
