I brought my boat to The repair shop you recommended, Outboard Services a few weeks ago. When he took one of the carbs apart he saw right off that the " boat dealership on Florida in Denham" didn't install all of the parts that come with a carb rebuild kit. They didn't put a plastic plug in that helps the idle. When I told him about how much fuel it was burning he told me without that plug in the carb I had a "jet" about .25" in diameter. Go figure. I wish I had some recourse to recover what I spent with them. He also said you didn't need to pull the prop, you set the carbs by vacum. I might be getting a little long in the tooth but but theh lesson was learned. Thanks for telling me about their shop. I can't wait for the wind to lay down and get after some of those silver sweetys. Thanks again!

Wow a 1/4" jet! What kind of fuel useage were you getting? That would empty a fuel tank pretty quick
