[QUOTE="MDCrappie, post: 339745, member: 160"] I would find a new mechanic. That is the solenoid that closes the choke. If closing the choke at high speed helps you, you have carb problems, not a choke problem. No I have never done the "conversion". I was just letting you know that there are more differences then "just the carb". Lots of guys think the pre 84 motor are just like the 84 and up. All I am saying is that you should look at the diagrams real good before taking the leap on a carb. I'm fairly confident you will need to do a bunch more things then just bolting on a carb to change your 25 to a 35. Another thing to think about is your LU. Will it handle 35hp like the larger one? What props are available for it? Can you get a bigger prop if the 35hp will allow you to spin more RPM? or are you planning to just spin the stock prop faster? It's not where the exhaust it, it how much exhaust is able to get out. Just take to anybody who works on motors. Doesn't matter how much gas/air you put in, if you can't get the exhaust out the HP is not increasing. [/QUOTE]
