Re: adjust carb help

According to the parts breakdown I was looking at your carbs have fixed jets, no adjustments needed.
What is your model number?

Re: adjust carb help

NEUTRAL, you have on the starboard side of the carbs, an idle mixture screw, start with all 3, carbs, at 4 turns out from lightly seated. adjust only one carb at a time. 1/8 of a turn, allow 15 seconds for the motor to catch up.

once running smoothly, use you idle speed adjustment screw to set idle RPMs 650- 800 rpms. as slow as you can get it, and not stall when in gear
