Re: carburator problem

The 2 screws are mixture screws,only affect the idle.The carburetor could probably use a rebuild.Check your spark plugs.

With black smoke and no power, check to make sure the automatic choke is opening.

Re: carburator problem

Did you ever get that carburetor working. I have the same issue. I just bought a boat that has carb issues. It has 2.3L 2bb carb holley 2300 model. It smokes alot. Does any one know where I can find a manual to ajust my carb?
