I need help with carburater setting

[JC1933]

Hi guys,<br /><br /> I put new kits in my 1995 130 hp johnson carbs, cleaned everything out with carb doctor cleaner blew all passeges out with air,everything looked verry clean befor i started but did it annyway.MOtor runs well at high rpm but wont idle, it coughs and wont keep running unles i keep priming. Low speed needle's are set by the manual at 2 1/2 turns out lik the manual calls for. Is there something i am missing?.... J C.

Hi, did you count the turns when you took the needles out, the 2 1/2 is just a starting point. Try making 1/4 to 1/2 turn adjustments & let the motor adapt before making another adj. if going one way makes it worse go the other, Check for a vacuum leak also.<br /><br />Mike

Most of the time the needles will be around 5 turns open.
