"Can anyone tell me the best procedure for setting the idle mixture on AQ130c please ? I just know that El Pescador or Jeff (of much fastness) will respond, you both seem to be the back bone of the site, thanks in advance of your help."

"Hi, go to this link

then select under "marine engines" the AQ130C and download the operator's manual. The procedure to set the idle mixture and carb synchronizing is described there. However, I would advise that you get hold of a uni-sync tool to make sure that both carbs are pulling the same flow at idle. Here is a link to the uni-sync tool:

The Seloc manual explains how to use that tool."

"I'm sure El Pescador or Jeff will have more complete instructions, but generally speaking you gently seat (close) the mixture screws and then back them out 1 1/4 turns as a starting point. Then with the engine idling, you adjust each one until you get maximum RPM. Proper synchronization of the two carbs is another story I will leave to someone else."
