At least get a service manual.

As far as I know the bottom orifice in the fuel bowl is non-adjustable. I belive on thoes tpe engines the only tweaking with the jests is done in the low speed nozzle. But yeah, you really need the service manual for refrence and troubleshooting so swing on over to iboats part store and pick it up. Shouldn't be too much.
