I have an 86 DT 75 My problem is when the at idle this motor seems to running perfect. I can pull the plug wires off on at a time and hear the change in the idle. But when I put it in the water and go to give it throttle it acts like it starts missing. Then the longer it runs the worse it gets. It starts flooding and missing worse. Ok now what for what I have done to it so far. When I bought the boat the fuel system was full of trash and water. I did a complete system cleaning. Remove the tank and cleaned pulled carbs and broke them down and cleaned them. change fuel filter and added another filter to help with left over trash. After all this the motor still didnt run correctly was missing at idle on the number 1 cylinder. After lots of trial and error. I ended swapping the power reeds of the 1 and 2 cylinders. Then it was missing on the number 2 cylinder. So purchased a new set reeds and installed them. Also installed new plugs. Know like I said it runs perfect at idle. And it starts fairly easy as well. But now I have this running issue. I checked the compression in the cylinders and they read as follows.
NUMBER 1 115 PSI
NUMBER 2 125 PSI
NUMBER 3 120 PSI
Is there anything else I can check? And what is the norm for adjustment of the mixture screw or is that what that top front adjustment screw is.
