carb help

**89Talon18** · 09-19-2017, 05:14 PM

Hi I have a set of wh-22 carbs with slosh tubes and baffles and im looking for some info on what motor they came on and what was the factory main jet, idle and air (if any).

**rock** · 09-19-2017, 09:21 PM

The only wh22 I am familiar with came on the 200 and mains were .074 except 2 & 5 which were .076. Idles were .046 and vents .096 except 2 & 5 which were none. slosh tubes and baffles may have came on something more high performance like the carbed bridgeports but the bridgeports I was familiar with had wh15.

That's whats listed in my seloc book. The carbs are on a bridgeport now. Ive got a nice plug color at WOT but the bottom end power is not so great and was thinking they could have the wrong idle jets

idle circuit goes away soon as ya stab it.... slosh and baffles are for circle and/or rough water racin. don't contribute ta anything else....

boat, "tuner", gear, prop, etc?

Boat is a talon 18 and im running a cle with 1.87 gears and a 26p yamaha drag copy. The tuner has been modified but not by me. Someone cut the edges and flared it and welded it back up. As I was typing that im thinking thats the issue

From what I have learned from you guys the tuner can change the "power band" a lot on these engines. They may have made it a top end queen, which isn't a bad thing just a give and take thing.

How short is the tuner?

While the tuners do matter they are not as critical as some would lead you to believe. I have seen boats come into my shop that had the tuners break or just plain fall off blocking the exhaust opening to an extent and run almost the same as they did when the tuner was in place. I doubt the tuner is your issue but missing bottom end wasn't helped by flaring it either.
