1998 merc 150hp 2 stroke carb.
read a few places that after performing my rebuild i should retard the timing about 2 degrees and increase the main jet by .002, which would take it from .074 to .076. (i guess to further prevent a lean mixture and to aid break in) and was wondering if this jet swap would be a good idea to do, and if so, where could you find that particual jet?. mercurys next size available is a .078 and thats for the 175 models.
