96 Mercury 115 2+2 question

[catchesbass]

Is it possible to make the 1996 Mercury 2+2 4 cylinder engine to run on all carbs all the time instead of making them all kick in at 1800 rpm? I really hate this design but I picked one up really cheap so I thought "what the heck?" It suddenly dies at full throttle. I just want to change he 2+2 system because I hate the way the bottom end seems so sluggish. I would like to make it run like a normal engine if that is possible. Thanks for the help!!

im not sure if its the top two or bottom two carbs that run all the time and correct me if im wrong but i believe the only way to make it run like a 4 cyl always is to swap the carbs that do not run all the time with another regular other set of carbs. it probably will idle a little rougher too and consume a bit more fuel. Merc did the whole 2+2 idea to smooth out the idle...

Well I can't handle any rougher idle. It already runs pretty rough as it is. And it like fuel alot as it is. I guess I'll just keep trying to get it running the right way as it is. Thanks!!
