1993 Mod. TE60TLENE Carb. Adjustments?

[Tatorbug]

I had to clean all the gum from all three carbs on my 60hp 1993 OMC which has been running a 50:1 mix after rebuilding and disabling the oil injection. The Engine had not been started for a couple years and the fuel/oil gum was bad. It runs OK, but is often slow accellerate to plane out. What is the proper adjustments on the 3 Carbs after removing the needles to clean those passages.

Not to be rude, but the proper move would be to get your hands on a repair manual before messing with a multi carb motor.<br />Don'tmix parts between the carbs.<br />Follow link and sync procedures to the letter.<br />Did you completely disassemble the carbs and clean them properly? Set float heights?

I was hoping an experienced mechanic could go beyond the manual inadjusting fuel/air mixture.

I complied with the manual with all the settings, but it has been my experience that some engines need a richer mixture on the higher cylinders. Hoping to get some feedback that would help in fine tuning the fuel/air mixture i.e. # of turns above or below best manifold presure for each carb.

Good Morning.<br />The best place to ask this question is in the Johnson/Evinrude Forum, as that is where the experts hang out. And there are some real talented guys over there.<br /><br />The responses I received to similar question were usually "trial and error", "personal preference or the engine tuner", "every engine is a little different", etc.<br /><br />But always error on the side of running rich, as running lean will kill you.<br /><br />From your responses, you seem to have good knowledge on how things work. I hope someone can help you on the specifics you seek.

Thanks, I'm new to this forum and didn't know where I was posting this question.
