LOL.... Skools, I'd love it to be a 225, but alas, it's only a 200. Those are Type IV carbs, used on 200 and 225 V6's from 1986 forward and on 120 and 140 V4's from 1985 forward, according to my service manual. In all cases, I contacted the company that did the original rebuild of the motor, they looked up the serial number in their records and are the ones sending me the carbs.
It still doesn't explain how anyone could be so dumb as to make a carb body out of plastic. Talk about a fire hazzard! I'm ready to pull the engine and strap my 200 Merc on.
