Hey All, first I just wanted to say this is my first post on this awesome forum. I've been searching on the forums on various issues but I had to sign up to ask these specific questions.
I've been trying to chase the high idling issue that I've been having. It started with the carb going bad, there was gas leaking out of the butterfly shaft due to the seals giving up. After reading I assume this issue will also cause high idle. I've since then replace the carb with a new rebuilt carb. But the problem is still there. I'm still idling at 1000-1100 on muffs, I can't mess with the idle screw anymore b/c it will stalls out if it goes below 1000.
I figure I should check the timing to see if it somehow went off. I followed the direction on this post:
https://forums.iboats.com/forum/eng...s-outdrives/278257-volvo-est-timing-procedure
I'm currently at a stand still b/c as soon as I connect the B+ wire to 12v, the engine will dies. So obviously I can't check my base timing. So any advice on what my next step is?

3.0GLP-E penta with new re-manufactured carb
new plugs, caps and wires
new oil.
thanks in advance.
