Re: [OMC-Boats] Question about carbs

I have the same setup on my 1970 120...there is only one choke setup for the dual carbs--the back carb does not have a choke. You can get most of the parts from the salvage yard...look for an early 70's Ford in line 6 and you should be good to go. The cast threaded piece also broke on mine...so I just swapped the carbs around and retuned them....run great! You could install a manual choke setup too...the parts store sells the kits usually in the 'help' section for about 20 bucks....but that would be a pain to have to go aft and pull the choke and release it...although it can be done. A standard syncro meter works great on getting them tuned--just take off the air cleaner bails. --- On Tue, 8/18/09, Nexi <ohnoitsnexi@...> wrote: > From: Nexi <ohnoitsnexi@...> > Subject: [OMC-Boats] Question about carbs > To: omc-boats@... > Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2009, 11:52 PM > > I've got a question about the carbs on a 1967 > Sportsman 120. I've linked to 2 pictures > below. The first picture shows a black cover on > the carb and a pipe coming out from the left side > which goes down into the engine.
