Hi all,

2-stroke 4 cylinder. I’ve noticed the butterflies on the carbs don’t move whatsoever. Only when Choke lever is pulled. If they suppose to close at some point where is the connection points (can’t seem to find any)?


in addition, just recently got boat and realized was not sounding full throttle. the throttle cable was not moving the throttle plate to full open position. Am I suppose to put throttle cable in position where neutral is positioned to be touching throttle plate right before any movement on the plate? As of now neutral is where the arm is pushed all the way back, which means when I move throttle control the plate is barely even moved. Which I’ve noticed does not allow carb linkage to move. I’m guessing bottom carb doesn’t work way it is now. I’m trying to learn thanks for any response
 
Thanks Jeff, I deleted the linkage part. Guess I’ll try and tackle one thing at a time which is to know about the butterflies on carbs. Once again thanks
 
Didn't mean to sound flippant (just reread my answer). The manual will show you how to get everything set up correctly.

Jeff
