You guys rock!! I took the advice of aChris, 2cycle and Clams Canino and re-adjusted the linkages on the throttle and turned all three carb's idle adjust screws from the current one turn out to a full 2.5 turns. My 21' open bow Mitchell ran so fast (including out of the hole) on Virginia's York River (kinda choppy that day cause of high winds) that I realized I am dealin' with more speed than I can use at times. She ran like a scalded dog!! Wow!!! My first trek into the world of slightly higher mechanics was a resounding success!
