Once it started getting the right amount of water all was WOT all the way. It’s a 1992 40 hp. Pull start and cold starting would about wear me out until I finally got everything dialed in with the link and sync and adjusting all three carburetors several times. This was after I completely rebuilt all three.  1/8 of a turn off and it’s not happy. If I do end up pulling them again I’m counting every turn and taking measurements with a caliper. Shouldn’t need kits. Cleaning at the worst.Good thing too. When I rebuilt them all three kits OEM where around $80. 2 years later and they’re $250.Mines pushing a 1983 16/52. Been on land for a year while I had to do some serious maintenance /rebuilding to the boat. It made the boat skip pretty good before. Now I’ve removed a lot of weight replacing the old flooring etc. Can’t weight to see how it does now.Pretty weather for three or four days starting tomorrow and I hope to be finished and going fishing.</blockquote>
