So I was running down the river last week and the motor stopped on me. I coasted and attempted to restart. The engine has seized. Now I get to rebuild, which I am looking forward to. I have a question
2X2 Design - From what I hear this was only used on a few models. Technology relies on 2 carbs not having idle jets and thus not active until enough pressure is exerted on the fuel system to push fuel past the drive jets.
I have heard great things about the Merc 125s and have had many other Mercs with no issues.
Has anyone heard of rejetting the carbs so that all of the cylinders fire during all speeds. I use my boat a few times a month and the fuel consumption is not my concern. I want an engine that idles smoothly and does not lean out for fuel savings.
Can I rejet or has anyone heard of using a carb from another 125 of the same era without the 2x2?
Thanks for your advice.
