ok so i got my 40hp electro shift motor hot and have had to replace my head gasket. I could use some help with torque value and pattern

Also when the head was off it looked like the top piston has had some detonation going on I would like to richen up the carb a bit i could not find a adjustment screw on the side. I thought the big one that comes out the front of the carb was just for low speed.

curently I run a 40:1 mix

any info would be good
