Will 200hp carbs work on a 175hp???

[KCLOST]

V6... <br /><br />I'm not really good with carbs... So I thought I would ask... I have an opportunity to purchase some 200hp carbs from an aquaintence.. I thought It would be good to familiarize myself more with them, and also possible increase power if possible..<br /><br />So,<br />Will WMH series carbs from a 1992 Mercury 200hp motor work on a 1986 Merc. 175hp?

not very well. They are too big and are calibrated for a different engine.

Ok, well what about 200 carbs from the same year?<br /><br />Sure they are jetted differently, but since the bore size is the same for both engines (I think), wouldn't they work? <br />Or is a different fuel pump required, or other stuff?
