I am going to do a carb sync this weekend after I pull and clean the carbs. In the shop manual, it states:
"The boat and engine must be in the water under normal operation conditions. The boat cannot be tied to a trailer or dock and must be free to move"
What does this mean? Does it mean you go and have some one bump the boat into gear and drive around the canals while I adjust the pilot screws?
Also, when adjusting the pilot screws do I do the 1-3/8 turn to each pilot screw before I move down to the next one or do I do 1/4 turns on each until I get to 1-3/8+-1/4?
What does the manual mean " adjust each pilot screw to find the setting at which engine speed increases" When I get to a certain point of counter clockwise turning does the rpms start to drop again?
Any help and explanations you can give will be greatly appreciated!
This will be my first carb removal and cleaning. Any suggestions. The manual says do not do a carb dip but reading some of your posts, some of you say to do a 2-4 hr dip?
Thank you!
