Back to the same problem

If you shifting too slow it will bang into gear, should be a smooth fast motion from N to F

I firmly shift there no gear grinding

I'm going to retest in a few minutes I found something that may be the issue Ill post later on it.....

 

[Dukedog]

sounds like it may be what i'm referrin' to if you used a dial indicator on each cylinder ta establish TDC on each for a starting point for timing on that cylinder..
over tha years i've found out on tha V6 that idle timin' numbers recommended in manuals and such worked fairly well for a start ona hose and or bucket and such.. but usually they need ta be adjusted after you put a "LOAD" on it in real time.............. jmo

Correct.... I re-timed last night set IDLE TIMING to 11* which dropped the idle to 1k on the hose which I can accept the timing runs smooth threw to WOT@22* I verified that. I Sync and linked a lil diferent than from what manual says due to the fact I WONT WORK BUT NOW IT RUNS SMOOTH HAS GREAT REV UP So now the lake test ,,I'll take to the launch and see how it idles on the water/ on the trailer If I can keep people from bitching lol

 

[Gunner357]

well the launch by me was laoded so I bought a horse trough 110 gallon and it worked pretty well was able to get the water above the side exhaust ports cold start idled right at 900-950 let it warm it hung around 950 so I put it in gear and 650-700 could keep in gear long due to the water shooting out all over the place but it seem to be where it suppose to be... I left everything alone wrapped it up until I can get on the lake.....If the lake trial dont work Im putting the Idle Module back on..it is what it is......

 

[Sea Rider]

On muffs or on the trailer the motor will idle differently than when combo floats on water....

Happy Boating​

Dont reinstall the idle stablizer...they cause cylinder failures

 

[Gunner357]

Ok went to the lake and couldnt get the engine to run worth a dam ,idles still too hi for me at least I ran it threw the canal and it shook like the timing was off, upper end is fine 67mph GPS... So , I had a new module I bought a while ago Put it on and BAM idles perfect in gear, perfect upper end.... I Bought this boat new in 85 its a bass boat I ran this thing from 1985 to 2019 with the module and only removed it due to cracked wires. If it fails it fails I rarely run WOT a lot I fish.... IM not going to even worry about it.... yes there's a lot that took it off but there's a lot that left it on {unless a fail} so its staying on.... thanks you all for your input.....

 

[Gunner357]

its back to the cruddy running idled great in water but when you press throttle a little bit it dies it will start right back up, If i punch it it gets up and goes then come off plain and is dies ive about had it
