I have an 82 185 without a service manual. It runs ruff at low rpms but better at high rpms. I cleaned carb, but can not put together because my bowl gasket in not in yet. I checked the compession, 150. If you hold the spark plug against the motor and she sparks. So I have to think that the problem is in the carb. I guess when I assemble the carb it will be yea or nay. Does anyone no what the carb mixture screw adjustment is? Any feedback will greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the settings gentleman. If this is not the problem, has anyone had any problems with intermiten spark? Hopefully it is the carb.
