Actually it shouldn`t be if you don`t change the levers on the carbs. It`s a good thing to do once in awhile anyway. It`s not expensive to have a dealer do it if you can find one that still deals in carbed engines.
Thanks for all the info. I have read over the procedure and it is'nt all that bad, just at first glance seemed overwhelming, but then again so do a lot of things on an outboard.
By doing the prodecure, am i basically setting up the carbs to be in sync. with timing movement, or do I need to go through the entire procedure and set idle speeds, timing, timing advance, the whole smear......
