115 mercury reed valves

(kozmo6969) wrote in message . com...
any help on checking reed valves, is this an easy check. i have a 115
that i was told possable bad reed valves. i do not beleave that but
would like to be sure before tearing down. i think fuel problem. good
compression all close to 120lb. rebuilt carbs, new fuel pump diaphram,
and water pump. motor hard starting, dies when in water after take
off, problem restarting. any help here????? thanks koz
this is a inline 6, three carbs. when testing the reeds, do i hold the
cardboard in front of the carbs? this has no breather i don't think. i
know that i am getting gas dripping out of carbs. if it is reeds, is
this worth replacing them, and has anybody replaced reeds on this
motor? any tricks? thanks
