Carb oriface jet problem/ link and sync

[szupparo]

Can someone tell me how bad a mistake I just made. When rebuilding the carbs on my on my 1984 E60ELCRE 60 horse evinrude I mixed up the the two brass orifaces ( jets? ) . They looked identical so I didnt think anything of it when I soaked them . They are different parts in the parts manual but are they interchangeable? One is intermediate idle # 35 and one is idle # 46. Does one have a larger opening ?
Also I know this is a loaded question but other than linking the the two arms on the carbs together what else is involved with the link and sync. I do have a repair manula but I is one I got online and it sucks. It describes adjusting the high speed needles but my carbs have fixed orifaces.
Thank you very much in advance and I have searched as many old posts as I can.

If the problem is that you can't tell which is which and you cannot see the marks on the jets, you can measure the opening size with a drill bit base to determine which is which.

In any event, you must have the correct orifice in the right place.

A number 35 is .035 and a number 65 bit will just fit the opening.

A number 46 is .046 and a number 57 bit will fit it somewhat loosely; a number 56 is a little too large.
