There is no excuse for that sort of behavior. Get me the #'s and I'll be glad to help however I can. You mentioned that new bleed lines were installed, and the reeds were changed. If the bleed line were put on wrong, that could be your culprit. Check em against the service manual to make sure that all are going to and from the right places, and that all the necessary check valves are functional. Also, the instructions for Boyesen reeds recommends a jet change, but I have found it to be un-necessary in most cases. If someone changed the jets, they may have went crazy and went up 4-6 sizes, or they may have not gotten them tight, and now a couple of them fell out and are sitting in their passages.

Whats up Duck! The carb # is WH-39 1,2,3. As I said earlier I had just purchased the engine in the spring. When I rigged the boat after changing wire harness and putting a fresh gel coat of clear to make her shineI had some wires wrong
frying somthing? I did notice that when the batteries were gone and trying to get back to the dock I had to slowly try to get up to speed by keeping her rpms high an slowly working the trim and jack plate.
Hey Sorry Dog, I tried to look at the pic and could not pull it up. JB weld is some good stuff hope it works.

Not true. If it is loading up, it is rich, periode!
Not much on Merc carbs, but don't they have an idle mixture screw for each venturi on top of each carb? Seems like my buddies does. I'll check with him.
Maybe that is just black motors. All my OMCs will idle for as long as you want.

LOL! I would recomend some fiberglass cloth to fill that hole the size of my fist...LOL!
I thought I was having problems
The key to repairing a block like that keeping the epoxy from building up too much in the cylinder as that robs power.
Do you suppose #6 got a little warm?

Hey, where did you find the pic of my last 2.4?
I have had a couple that looked like that......
Although I know a few guys that would try to reassemble that with epoxy, I don't think it would work.......
And Viking, I'll check those numbers and get back to you soon.

I should have phrased that "all Mercs with WH-series carbs"..... The WMH's (late '90 and up) have idle screws and run much cleaner.
