Re: dyno instead of test wheel
Marine dynos require you to "load" the engine, run it up to a specific WOT rpm, and read a specific psi reading per the dynos operating manual. If you don't have the "correct" readings, troubleshoot the fuel, ignition and/or mechanicals to find out why! I used to use a dyno about two or three times a day, five days a week at a previous employer.Too far from the water to always go! We never put much creadence in the 'readings" because if the "specs" where "off", yet the motor ran with no concerns, then just what were we gunna "fix"??? Loading the engine allow'd us to shoot fuel down the venturies, shoot timing, pull plug wires (balance test), etc... Since I'm now on the lake, we lake test just about everything! Cut down props can get expensive and where do you put all of 'em??? The only way you can tell a customer his boat runs correctly on the water is to....... Put it on the water!!! With his prop!
