Sort of like this, but not exactly. Besides the insiders I've already told, who knows what Merc product this reed cage came out of?

Here are images of what Daren is referring to:
A std Merc crank used to come with squared counter balance throws like this 6 cylinder:
A close up of a beveled crank that only has bevel on the reed side, original size & shape on the bearing side.
And this is a stock later 6 cylinder (99ci) crank with some bevel on the counterweights and reeds anchored at the inside
the last crank looks like the one i was thinkin of, a three cyl w/ 2carbs, think it was a 650sumthin,? any way looks like it was done to help it move more air,
seems like alot of them cranks you got are done, must be something to it.:cool:
the 2 carb triple is the regular 650Quote:

All Merc 2 7/8 bore motors use the beveled crank and center anchored reeds, 3 cylinder, 4 cylinder and 6
