Update: I took the homemade PIN that was already there and trimmed it with a dremmel and now it allows full operation of the throttle. Took it out on the lake today and it ran much better but I still think it needs a little adjustment. It does not start without injecting a little fogging oil...
This is the piece that was in there not the nylon peice. It sticks out too far not allowing the full rotation of the shaft. I will order new nylon pin.
Haven't checked the spark yet but when taking a look at the throttle position I noticed that when in WOT it does not engage the throttle plate all the way. Trying to get a good photo to show you.
I understand what you are saying. I do not know the significance of it though. Im still learning all this. I guess I will need to go get the gap tester from auto parts store to check.
Compression is 70 PSI on both. I do not have a spark gap jump device to test it with. I have not checked the Fuel Pump Diaphragm. I have checked spark with the plug sitting on top of the cylinder head and each had a strong blue spark.
Update: The new flywheel in and works perfect! I ordered new recoil spring and rope, now that's all fixed and working great. Put the boat in the water today and it didn't have any power at all. I adjusted the low speed and it seemed to give it a lot more power but when running WOT it just does...
Ok so the new Flywheel came in early! Put it on and viola no more rubbing the mag plate. I went to start it and the pull rope came off in my hands. Does anyone know of a rope I can just go get from Lowes / Home Depot or auto parts store?
