My 1971 60 hp runs good, however, when I adjust idle on #1 carb there is no difference in rpm no matter where I turn screw. I put carb kits on all 3 carbs, runs great at speed. Any suggestions?

Re: carb response

may you did not get the low speed orifices clean in #1. the little tiny hole under the compression plug, they can be cleared from the inside of the carb throat, using a small paper clip.

Thanks for fast reply, I'll recheck the orifices. The book states to adjust #1 @ 1200 rpm instead of 650 for 2 & 3.
