I was told to prop it with ~1/3 tank of fuel, and yourself to be able to reach 6k RPM's

Thanks 79Merc...it would spin 6K, I just wasn't really sure if I should be running it that high. It really seemed to like 5600-5800 better than running 5200-5400. I have read that max revs are in the 5200-5500 range, but I know that people run them over 6k. I just don't want to blow this thing up...it is the only one I have!

I,m with ya on that one. Nothing quite like the sweet sound of a good running Merc inline.
They have the look too.
