I recently bought a boat that came with a 1982 V6 Mercury 200hp 2.4L outboard engine and decided to take apart and now am rebuilding. Right now my issue is routing the bleed lines. I have a block with 5 fittings one for each cylinder except for cylinder #3 and a vertical reed block with 6 fittings on it including fitting E right next to fitting A. Carb #1 from top to bottom has 2 fittings one the top and one on the bottom and Carb#2 has a T shaped fitting on top. I have everything connected but i am still not sure where fitting E should go or if its been properly routed to begin with. I attached a diagram to illustrate the way I have it connected but as I mentioned before still not sure where fitting E should go. Any info will be useful. Thanks in advance Doug
