Well, yesterday at 9am I took the first two carbs off the Johnson, and it went pretty well. I replaced them and the motor started right up - so I did the other two as well. By 4:30pm the carbs were back in place, and the motor was running once more. Idled on the muffs at about 800 rpms, which should settle down once I get it in the water for final adjustment.

Interestingly, the idle mixtures screws were all set at 6 3/4 turns - except the top starboard carb, which was set at 8 3/4 turns out. Yikes! Reset them all to 6 1/2 turns for now, then will do the final adjustment once we splash again. Best part - no more fuel leaks! Yay!

Thanks for the support and encouragement from all!
