Carburetor Synchronization – Dynamic Adjustment
NOTE: The carburetors are synchronized by adjusting the intake manifold vacuum on the
top three carburetors. Use Carburetor Tuner (91-809641A1) to measure the vacuum.
NOTE: The engine should be completely warmed up for the adjustment. Correct adjust-
ments can not be obtained in a cold condition.
INSTALLING CARBURETOR TUNER (91-809641A1)
1. Remove four plugs from the intake manifold.
2. Install a intake manifold hose adaptor in each plug hole.
NOTE: Intake manifold hose adaptors are provided with the Carburetor Tuner.
3. Connect the carburetor tuner to the hose adaptors.

CAUTION
To avoid the possibility of drawing mercury from the vacuum gauge into the engine,
do not run engine at high rpm speed and avoid rapid throttle deceleration (high vac-
uum situations).
SYNCHRONIZING CARBURETORS
1. With the outboard in water, start engine and allow to warm up. Shift the outboard to neu-
tral.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
3. Adjust idle rpm screw (a) on #4 carburetor to obtain an idle setting of approximately1000
rpm in neutral. If necessary, keep adjusting the idle screw.
