Took my Lund/Merc 40 4 cyl 2 cycle fishing the last two days. It cuts out
quite a bit, and I'm suspecting jetting. The gas is fresh. Plugs are
new.

I need to buy a manual, but don't want to part with the $$$. I've done a
lot of carb adjustments on cars, motorcycles, atv's, etc.

This motor has two carbs. Are the low speed jets just brass screws that
you adjust at a high idle? Something was mentioned about high speed jets,
and do those need to be adjusted when the boat is going fast? Or is it a
thing of 1 1/2 turn from closed, or something like that?

The engine compartment is crowded on that motor, but I know I could pull
the cowling, and figure it out with a flashlight and some time.

Help would be appreciated, especially links to diagrams so I could pick
out the high and low, and other tips.

That is, when you're not busy talking politics. Politics is just too
boring and depressing, so I have decided that I want to go boating and
fishing instead, and at least if the end comes, I'll be standing in my
boat for the initial nuclear flash.

thanks.

I just got a manual for my Force (actually EVERY Force) on CD on ebay for 2
bucks and 3 for shipping. It's kind of a PITA not having a book but I can
print the pages I need.
Also, related to Tims post, didn't you clean the bowls and jets? I
remembered that discussion from a few weeks ago with someone. If not, you'll
find a bunch of gunk from the old gas evaporating.
