f suffix or s carb, did it have needle valve or not, if so what did you set it at.

I have seen problems with those carb kits. Spend the extra money and get the OMC kits.

I encountered a problem with those engines years ago.....when the airbox is put on it can kink the fuel lines going to each carb. I think the no. 3 carb hose was the worst for doing this. Double check all of your hose routing.
