    96 225 Carbed issue

    Got a 96 225 carburetor mercury. After a long run, when I idled down it was skipping and had little power. Finally got it back up on plane, no skip and run fine. Got home and put muffs on it. It is huffing out the number 4 carburetor. What could be the problem. Compression runs 105-110 on all cylinders. Thanks.

    Got a reed broke and gone. Is this something to worry about finding or did it get spit out the exhaust side. Click image for larger version.

    Scoped it last night. No sign of the reed. Top of piston looks fine. Maybe it spit it on out.
