Merc V-6 carbs--identify?

[dicktaber]

I bought a set of carbs on eBay last fall intending to use them on my 150HP XR-2 V-6. After some discussion with some of you folks on iboats, I changed my plan. Instead I bought 6 rebuild kits and rebuilt the eBay carbs first as practice, then did the ones on my motor. Now I'm planning on selling them on eBay, but...I'd like to state with assurance what they fit. The seller told me that they were from a 200 HP but was uncertain of the year. The casting number is WH-39 if I'm reading it right. My Merc book only covers up to 1989 and the highest number they list is a WH-29, which is what is on my 150. It had a nice chart with jet sizes, etc. If necesary I can provide the jet sizes if someone has a newer book that covers the newer V-6 motors. Thanks once again, Rich

N2m,I show wh38-wh40 which are for 135-150hp merc, wh46-wh49 200 hp dont see any wh 39. Maybe someone else will have wh-39 in another manual

definitely WH-39. Jets are considerably bigger than my 150 (80 vice 64 mains) so they might be from a 200HP. If I have to I'll go bug my local boat shop's service department but they have not been too impressive so far...<br />Thanks again, Rich
