    In 2004 we tested a prop dynomonitor on a 70 hp oval port. It measured 71 hp at the prop. The only change we did was put SST 60 carbs with 75 main jets and it tested at 79 hp at the prop. This as a factory non rebuilt motor. We never did run it on the water because it was not my boat.

    curious as to what carbs are closest to the sst60 carbs I have 1994 stock 70hp oval port rude. A 8-9hp gains with carbs and jets would sure be nice especially in that rpm range since I running a jet lower. curious as to what carbs are closest to the sst60 ones since at least for me those are hard to find and expensive. It has stock carbs right now, I do have a 1987 70hp fishing motor with a prop sitting on a stand are those carbs better than the 1994 ones?

    Provided the 1987 70 hp is a 56 cubic inch...it will have the big carbs...most likely they have a 69 main jet. The oval port loves fuel so I would run a 75 or larger jet with those carbs to start with. Blueprinted and slightly mod oval ports will run jets 77 to 80 with the big carbs... There is a lot of info on this site. Check the intake diameter, some say the intake is smaller on their oval port, use the intake off the 1987 if this is the case with your motor.

    Before you change carbs you might find you have a 60hp oval port. They did not do a 70 oval port jet. Look at the back of the carb and see if it is exactly same size as the front 1.5 inches. If smaller it's a 60hp. Take a pic from front of carb and back and post it. ..
