I had a 1989 merc 135hp, it blowed up because of a crack on the back side of the automatic oil line. I had a buddy help me rebuild it. I had to get a used block from him. It is a 1988 150 mariner block. We changed the bottom exhaust and carburators to 150. I am in the process of rejetting and I have 64s in high and 58s in low speed jets. I also replace the reeds with Bosin reeds, and the hole shot is not very good. This motor is on a 1989 Stratos fish/ski. Can you give me any ideas what Mercury has on the 150? Also what is mercury using on their low and high speed jets. Are the Bosin reeds any good?
