Bill of sale was in the owners packet, motor was purchased March 11th 1972. Block has been stuffed so the port heights in that one will hopefully have to wait another 38 years.

Slightly different stops are part of the "banjo concept".
Reed stop settings are the same on booth styles (except for 1970 to 72 1150īs) although older manual says 5/32" (3,969 mm) and later manuals says .162" (4,115 mm).

02-09-2011, 03:00 PM #49This 72 has banjo reedsBill of sale was in the owners packet, motor was purchased March 11th 1972.
The LS 1400 used the same reed parts as the 1350, which were definitely not "banjos". The SS however had some kind of membranes of its own (61313A1). Stops in the SS are however the same as the LS 1400 and 1350 (56008).
The banjo membranes and stops used in the 73 and up 1500īs are, as Droll/Arne says above, however 65312A1 and 65319.
"Raceman" has told us there were no short shaft 72 1400īs offered to begin with, only short shaft 1150īs offered as some kind of substitute. So "Capt.Insane", I guess your 1400 purchased new early March 72 should be a long shaft engine? And if so, the parts list says it should have had std 1350 style reed units installed by Mercury.
But as said, the parts list indicates the short shaft 72 1400 had some kind of reed membranes of its own. Could these 61313A1īs have been ordinary/std shaped but .007" thick membranes, instead of the ordinary .008" thickness? Like a 1400 XS/J-block!

To let some fresh sea air (brackish water though) into this thread of tech specs and dates etc., here is a picture "from the road".
Pic is taken July 2010 by a friend when we did a "jump" from the Stockholm archipelago over to the Åland achipelago of Finland. Itīs about one hour in the open sea, but as you can see we were lucky to have a rather pleasant ride.

garyg,
I first used the banjo reeds in the late 1970s in a Twister 1 I had torn
down for overhaul. This engine had a few of the thin Twister reeds cracked
and blown out and I decided to try the 1500 reeds in this engine with the
original 1350 type stops. This engine is still in my family and has not been
apart since. It is being run on a 15R Allison and the reeds have shown no
problems. This engine has been run many, many hours since overhaul.
I have used the banjo reeds in several other engines since then with
the original stops without any problems.

Long shaft non power trim, this motor sat with #5 burned out of it under a car port for at least 25 years so I know it's never been apart. I know the dealer where it came from and they were a high volume shop. Being that is was purchased in March it is probably a late 72 production, and like many many Mercs I work on you never know whats inside them at times.

HeeHee Banjo reeds need a stop with out a Break line/ridge......Smoooth as not to break the narrow section. Stock reeds have a step to define the bending of the thicker reed. Mix and break at ya own perill..

02-11-2011, 12:47 AM #55I did a (re-) check on the 72 1400 in the parts manual some time ago. And it seems there were differencies in reeds between long shaft engines and short shaft engines.L6fan57-88

tech topic on inline 6.
Thank you all who have contributed to this great topic.
Has someone here got any info on the Australian produced (inline 6) Mercury outboards?
I just purchased an engine just to have a play look see, restoration, etc.
The serial number on the enginewas way out of all the lists available from USA/Canada.
Serial # is 80527** and states it was made in Australia, (Victoria, Dandanong facrtory).

If you go to mercruiserparts.com and look under 1400,140 your serial # range is listed as Australian built along with the USA and Canadian serial #s that match it .
