Can more power be had ?

[dukewichers]

I was told I could swap heads from my 1992 Johnson ( J200TXEN ) with a set from an 87 200 to boost comression, and with a jet and timing change I could get more power from my outboard. True or false ? Next question.....is it worth the time and effort ?? Thanks in advance,<br /><br />Duke

Re: Can more power be had ?

The timing stays the same. You'll probably need to rejet the mid and hi jets. If you run without the airbox cover, you'll need to jet up (richer) a lot. You'll have to run at least 93 octane.<br /><br />That being said -- we're assuming youre gettin all ya can outta what ya got now. If youre not, then youre probably gonna eat up some parts. Like pistons.

If you look in the prop topic's, I posted a topic with all the specs of my skiff. and suggestions would be helpfull... I burn too much fuel for 93... Thanks Dhadley !!!<br /><br />Duke
