Finally got her out on the water and timmed it. Acted kinda funny, but basically to bore the long story.... first Just a quick view on how engine ran before, Motors never ran bad. Does seem like low end torque is low under 3000 rmps but thought that was normal. Timimg advance is 19 degrees. Timing initially read at 12 degrees. Bump it up 3. Ran at 15 degrees. Bumped it up 2 more turned, stayed the same. Bumped it up one turn, now reading just under 16. Maybe 15.75 degrees.
Off my first reading, the timimg should be 18 if one turn consistantly equals on degrees. But its reading just under 16 and hadn't really changed much after 3 turns... not really sure what's going on.. maybe some water got on coils and cause it to do that?... is it a part that's going bad...?
Going to try the jim Reeves method and see that reading I get. Somethings not adding up. Had good compression when checked 2 years ago.. could check it again, not sure if that would make a difference. Following as the OMC manual says besides using a test prop..
Did it run better, maybe... hard to say. It did plane very fast and at full cruise within 7 seconds. Prob on Plane in 5 or less. So maybe improvement, but i also linked and sync. 1900 to 2000lb loaded boat with 17 stainless prop.
