Carb?

[mercrazy]

I’ve got a set of wh22 carbs. Would they be better than the later version 2.5 carbs? I only have later carbs from a 150. What should I use instead of these 2 choices?

No carb experts here?

Depends what you're doing with it... the drag racers like certain carbs but for a fishing motor funning r stock jetting, I don't think you would notice much difference?

WH22 looks like they came on a 1980's 2.4L 200hp motor?

They were on a 7 petal intake with boyeson reeds. They have to be 25 years old but reeds were flush and looked new. Can’t remember where I got em. Reckon that would have been a 225?

I can confirm that WH-22’s came in the 2.4/200. For sure in 1983 and I’m sure some other years of 2.4/200 too. People here have said good things about them. I have a set that came with my 2.4/200, that I’m running WH46’s on. My 2.4/200 is a late 1990 build, so the WH46’s are year-appropriate.

So the WH22’s are 2.4 carbs, not 2.5. I think some racer types around here have mentioned running WH22’s on their 2.5’s but I forgot what specific reason they gave for doing so.

I tested WH22s a lot. Good carbs on a 2.5. 5 pedal stock intake. .074 idle jets. .082 mains. no vent jets. Maybe start richer on the mains. Every motor is a lil different.

they are a lot easier ta tune than tha wmh or wmv.. but tha new stuff seemed a little stronger once ya found exactly what they wanted..

22's were a little stonger on top but tha 20's pulled a tad stronger on tha bottom side.. this seemed true on either tha 2.4 or 2.5.. tha 46's were good all-around and seemed jus fine straight outta tha box... but like said if ya could get tha later model junk dialed in they were hard ta beat... jmo.
