this is a 3.0 mer in your average 18 ft bayliner. the owner took the carb off and had a mechanic rebuild it, I checked the timing and its dead on according to the book...yes we made the little bypass jumper wire and disconnected some other wire so we got no advance... I thin it was 1 or 2 degrees.
the rpms are just a tad high.... I screwed in the mixture needle....one turn....before that we could hardly start at all!!
now it starts every time If you shift to nuetral and push the thottle ALL the way to the max.... then it starts
seems to be telling me, its getting too much gas.....a few weeks ago when i took the airfilter off and looked down into the carb , it seemed like it was super wet.....like somehow gas is weeping into the carb throat while it sits and when you go to start it...it is loaded with too much gas
anyone got a direction to check?
new plugs
new wires
supposedly professionally rebuilt carb
timed good
???
thanks bob
