Default Re: Nasty Soot Problem

Thanks All,
I run 87 octane all the time. It is more of an annoyance than a problem, I am a clean freak and like my boat spotless at all times. Ya, Go figure. I will start with the air screws & timing that will be easy enough. Are there two or four screws per carb?
Thanks again, and Happy 4th of July All

Sounds to me like you need to increase the low speed bleeds. If you open them up a couple thousands youll be soot free with better throttle response and a cleaner idle.
