Johnson 85 hp Carburetor settings help

[cropetski3317]

Hey guys,

Can anyone out there give me a general carburetor setting for the screws. I need to know how far to adjust the screw that matches into each one of the jets. I have (2) two barrels each having 4 screws on the bottom half of the carb where the bowl is located. The screws are stacked one over the other. I know one controls the idle and the other? Any info would greatly be appreciated.
I just cleaned and did carb kits on each one. (A guy at work told me about 1 1/2 turns out but I wanted to check to be sure) (J85TLCSA)

thanks,
Chris

if you indeed have a J85TLCSA all your jets are fixed, you just tighten them down snug. there are no adjustment. just did a carb like that.

And the 4 screws are just covers, not jets. When you snug them down, use the new o-rings in the kits and make sure that they are absolutely airtight.
