hello,<br />i just put 2 brand new carbs (straight from mercury factory) on my 1988 60hp mariner and i need a few tips on tweeking it. i had it out on the water and did some adjustments with the idle mixture screws and got it running pretty good but not quite right. it seems if i adjust to get it to start right up, it will hesitate a little on acceleration. if i adjust to get rid of the hesitation, it will not start as good. should i be adjusting the carbs one at a time or should they be adjusted simotaneously? lower carb has a .072 jet and upper has a .074 jet. any help?<br /><br />thanks
