I always tweak mine when going out the first time. My wife or friend at the controls cover off. Get it idling in fwd gear and richen the low speed needle until I get it slw enough to set docking speed without dying
Then get them to go full throttle in a controlled but steady pace and tun in the high speed until I hit max rpms possible and highest speed the go back rich 1/8 to 1/4 turn to make sure I am not too lean.
Take your 7/16 wrench to loose. The packing nut while adjusting the cinch it down once you have it right.
Mine will big at midrange until it get it dialed in after storage.
