I am rebuilding the 4 carburetors on my friends Evinrude 1991 V4 120hp outboard. I don't have the engine model number handy as the motor is 300 miles from where I live. Upon cleaning and rebuilding the carburetors I noticed that 2 of the carbs had a #34 idle air bleed orifice and 2 had a #37 idle air bleed orifice. It's been in various shops over the years for fuel, idling and starting issues. All the parts breakdowns for this motor shows 2 of each size required. My question would be, does carburetor placement on the engine make a difference and is my information correct? Or should all 4 carburetors be jetted the same? Thank you, Bob Thompson
