Hey guys! I have a 1986 mercury 115 powerhead that burnt a piston rings. I then purchased a powerhead that claimed to be for 90hp and 115 hp. I installed the power head and took it out to try. It didn't have the top end o expected and will not rev passed 4700 rpm. The powerhead looks the same and I installed the carbs from the 115. Is there a difference with powerhead or can I use parts from the 115 to regain the hp.

Some 90hp motors had less openings on reed block but bigger difference is block is not power ported and reed stop height .
