RDS-22, 40hp, 1960 I guess RDSL is the longshaft version

Floats usually set with the top parallel with the top when the valve closes. Someone will say if this is different.

Unless you really want to create a smoke screen you should run that engine at 1:50 because that is what they are supposed to be run on according to Evinrude /Johnson OMC.
