Is this throttle plate okay? (Pic attached)
1993 Evinrude 150hp, VE150GLETG.
The throttle plate on the left is #1 (starboard). The throttle plate on the right is #2 (port).
All three throttle plates on port side (2,4,and 6) don't appear to close as snugly as the starboard plates. (Please see photo)
Is this enough to cause problems for the port side mixture? The symptom I'm troubleshooting is that the port carbs only function if I choke one of them with my palm. Then they contribute while idling, but only for a minute or so.
Thanks for all the great help so far. I've learned a lot since I acquired this motor in September.
I've also posted on the Hull Truth, but there have been invasive re-direct pop-ups happening a lot, so I'm posting in a couple places. I might not be able to offer much engine advice yet, but I can help with the pop-ups if you use Chrome for you internet browser.

Loosen each side up and push each side closed and then tighten up.

They all have to be closed at idle and open exactly the same time........... the service manual shows you how to do a proper link and sync.

Thanks, I really appreciate the replies.
I really want an OMC manual, but am having a heck of a time finding one. And I hear some of the aftermarket manuals are not worth the money. Where do you guys go for manuals? A downloaded digital one would be fine for me.
