1992 Mercury 200 Carbs not EFI.
I have posted some questions about rough idle and some stalling at low RPMs in the past and followed the suggestions on this board. Motor runs great once the RPM's get over 1500 or so, but at idle it has trouble. So far is have tried disconnecting the idle stabilizer, advice from a previous post, replaced plugs, decarbed engine, cleaned all three carbs replaced and readjusted, verified timing and link and sync.
Another symptom is there is a lot less suction from the two lower carbs. With the air cover off I can place my hand over any of the top four carbs and it almost chokes out the engine. Placing my hand over either of the lower two has little affect, I feel very little suction. Is this a reed valve problem?
As an aside, all the aformentioned procedures have helped to some degree or another, however I feel the problem is in the lower two cylinders.
Your thoughts?
