1989 Mercury 80hp Upgrade

It could just be that low rpm charge velocity, stop and go didn't cause sufficient droplets to fall out and it wasn't an issue.

I was thinking about a what if they Merc had built a L6 top over bottom triples with v blocks. Mimic the same side by side chest/tuner(s) and order of the T2 motors. The bigger carbs , new ign, other goodies, short mid etc. Wonder if someone stayed up late and built one!

I didn't think RPMs were much different on the V6's. Maybe just a few hundred more, as far as rating.

Thought the difference would be the low rpm, trolling speed. You'd need to compare everything from carbs through case, tranfers and exhaust timing, all the signals and pressure swings to the v6.
If it didn't load up at troll they likely made the decision to omit the drains recirculating system.

What's that in L6 142ci, that would be interesting.

Anyway glad it's tuned up running

Oh right at trolling speed. That makes sense.
