3.0 Carb Question

[2008Bayliner]

Hello,

New to forum, but I know you will help answer this ? I have, and thanks in advance.

I am rebuilding a merc carb and have it all disassembled and cleaned which I will clean it some more it really wasn't as gummed up as I thought it would be.
My question is after it is all put back together do I need to remove the safety cap on the mixing screw or will it run as is without adjusting. Again Thanks for any replies.

Throw that damn thing away! It's a residue of the automotive environmental whacko era.

Yes you will need to adjust the idle mixture for a smoother idle.
