I recently purchased a boat with a 1979 140 Chrysler engine I would not start, troubleshot and found gas to bowls but none further so I proceeded to clean the carbs, removed and removed all pieces that I felt needed to be removed and then put in carb cleaner for a couple hours apiece. After this was done I reassembled and set the screw to 1.5 turns out, the engine did fire off and run but not real well so I screwed the bottom carb screw in till it started to sputter, die, then went to the top carb and was able to screw all the way in and did not actually change anything so I removed again and cleaned again this time left it in cleaner over night to no avail still does the same thing, I can still screw the screw all the way in and does not alter the engine.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? should I just get 2 carb kits and completely rebuild?
If so is 18-7037 the right kit or just 7037 to purchase and what is the screw setting to start with? was I right at 1.5 turns out?
Any help in this matter would deeply be appreciated
