Re: 69 Chrysler 55 HP
Ok, so, have everything adjusted and took the boat to a local lake for a test. Fires up, idles good, I over corrected the shift adjustment but I can fix that pretty easily,
However, I seem to have 2 new problems.
New problem #1 seems to be RPM, while in a tub at my house and manually moving the throttle plate I get alot more RPM that when the control box is at WOT, I don't have a Tach (yet) anyone reccomend a good tach for a low price? My ear hears only about 3500 rpm, at WOT, I could be wrong but I have been around and worked with alot of motors, albeit not alot of boat motors. Has a stock prop on it, so I don't think its a prop issue. After I get a tach, I will get the RPM numbers factual.
Problem #2, ran great.....for a while, developed a bit of a miss, didn't seem to affect idle but anything but once on throttle from about 1/4 to all the way it was noticable, and it would lose some rpm and stumble a bit, but pick it back up and do it again, would do while at 1/4 throttle all the way up to WOT,
Fuel pump was rebuilt, the glass bowl is clean no stuff in it, clear inline fuel filter is clean, no particles
Carb was rebuilt and air/fuel is setup to factory 1 1/4 out,
Any suggestions on where to look and what would cause a miss after about 35-40 min of good solid running?
However, this is a general maintenance part, so it should be replaced. If you wanted to spend the dough, get a tuneup kit consisting of new points and condensors. I suggest cleaning and gapping the points and getting a pair of new condensors.
