Look at the "TOP SECRET" thread at the top of the forum. There are instructions on how to set the carb in there.

use the single needle instruction, one carb at a time. you also may need to set your idle speed stop screw up at little faster. it should idle between 600-750 in forward, in the water. all these adjustment must be made on the water. you want to adjust the carbs independently, no matter what the others are set at.
