Heal quick brother!
That Merc is so mis understood, but simple,its all about air fuel mixture, the lower 2 carbs are jetted to only allow enough fuel (premixed @ 100:1) for lubrication purposes, as the throttle plates are opened, a second progression hole begins to allow fuel to the bottom cylinders, an accelerator pump, gives a measured shot of fuel to those 2 cylinders to overcome lean conditions, thos all happens around 1800 to 2000 rpms, setting all this up must be done in a specific order or it is all for not, ..during idle conditions, excess fuel is shuttled to the top two cylinders via a series of check valves and scavenging lines..once understood, it's easy to work on, unfortunately, alot of wannabe mechanics did not understand how a 2 stroke works and had no clue how this engine runs.. I've fixed alot of these engines that others had given up on.On a note pertaining to this thread, I'm on the couch with my knee in an ice pack, fell off a ladder at work today when my foot got tangled. No bueno!..not fishing tonight
Yea, hope you get a permit Frank. I don't blame you for spending the time scouting for the hunt...it's worth it for a once in a lifetime hunt. I do love fishing and chasing monsters but I'd spend time hunting/scouting for "monsters in the woods" over fishing most any day. Good luck. I put in for permits in both NH and Maine for many many years and have never got picked. I've pretty much lost faith
