Thank you for the reply….I did wonder about the reeds leaking but was unsure of the set up on these old Mercs. I have had bad ones in OMC’s. I tried it with the original condensers of course and it ran awful…tried two used ones I had kicking around…same thing. Went and got 2 new sierra’s….same thing. One or two on here said  they had bad luck with sierra condensers so back to the store 40 miles from here this morning for TWO more to try. Can only get Sierra’s so had to try again and it runs REALLY good…one pull idles down GREAT…so… brand new condensers no good. Thank you for taking the time to help.
