In 86 and a few of the 87 200 XP high performance loopers they used a MASSIVE set of carbs. I take it they are almost a straight shot through the air passage through the center of em, if so that is them.

Ferm you are an freaking genus as always ! Hats off to you my friend..here is what I found on another post it matches everything I have, the Bozo of a mechanic installed these carbs on my engine last year I switched em back because I rebuild the original I thought I had a set of spares wrong !
Nice little detective work but it was worth it.
Thanks Guys

"it is a 1986 evinrude model E225TXCD with 1987 carbs on it, part number on metal plate of carbs state
(4 carbs have this)
398393
1537
mx 01 IL
(2 carbs have this)
398393
1537
mx 22 IL
the jets are 47 idle, 14 intermediate and 62d high."

those jets are right for an 87 J/E 225 both of my 87 225's have same jets

I wasn't able to measure those carbs before I left, and I am in NEBRASKA right now and going to WTOMING next so I'm not going to be able to measure em for awhile.
