Author	Topic:   Adjusting Fuel-Air Mixture Ratios In Carburetors
derf	posted 12-11-2005 08:03 PM ET (US)         Most of the outboards I've seen have fixed jet carbs. There may be a kit or alternative jet to install [to adjust the fuel-air mix ratio]. But, I don't think there will be a simple solution [to adjusting the fuel-air mixture ratio in a carburetor].
