`79 Evinrude 55HP carb rebuild?

[camaro27]

I have a 1979 55hp Evinrude that I just finished rebulding after I blew a rod bearing and replaced the rod, bearing, and crank. It doesn't idle too well so I cleaned the carbs (rebuilt them about 3 months ago) and the idle is still a little off. It also seems to lag a little for a split second when I dump the throttle before it takes off. How do I go about checking to make sure the timing is still correct, how do I make sure the carbs is adjusted properly, and how can I make sure I rebulit the carbs correctly? I just found a third jet on each and figured I didn't do a complete job the first go around.

Thanks for any insight.

I'm assuming I would have to buy the manual because there isn't an online version avalible? Thanks tashasdaddy!

Correct. They're all over ebay.

In the meantime, check your local library.

I buy originals (OEM) on CD. Makes them easy to store and I only print the pages I need.
