Just changed over from L&S duel hinge Reeds to Boyeson...Man what a diefferance in just starting & idleing when cold. Fired the 1993 2.0 150 HP Merc up for the 1st time this year and even though it still had the fogging oil in it I thought I had a EFI as opposed to a carb. Didnt have to frig with the foot throttle to keep it running (didnt touch it) or nurse it with the choke. Started it & let it run on the muffs for about 10' shut it off and touched the key w/o the choke and off she went. The L&S reeds did look good however for being 7 years old, only had 15 reeds total with mild tip loss (all under 1/8'') and burning. The max RPM is around on the motor is 6,300. Time to hit the H2O.
