Re: 81 merc. 225 black max question
Those old 1981 v225 are tough engines . . . they can take a LOT of abuse. I wouldn't hold back running them WOT . . . just make sure the idle stabilizer/spark advance modules are gone. The stock wh-20 carbs on that motor will drink some fuel, but the sound from those engines is awesome . . . kind of like a nest of angry hornets when turned above 6,ooorpm.
I ran one for a few years with wh-22's carbs . . . burn was only 10/11 gph @ 4000rpm and 20/21 gph WOT.
