Some of you have read my last thread re: a voltage regulator failure (catastrophic).
After replacing voltage regulator, burned wires going to the power pack and cleaning the optical timing sensor and underneath the timing wheel the engine started. Also wound up replacing the started......it was original.
Seems to be running well, however.......not sure if the fast start is operating properly.
Engine starts fine but I didn't find the idle RPM dropping after it warmed-up.
I know I can check the timing.....didn't have a light at the time.
If in fact it isn't operating correctly and the timing is staying advanced at idle.....is there a problem operating the engine this way? Does the fast start only affect the idle timing or would it affect the timing over the entire RPM range?
I want to go fishing tomorrow w/o further troubleshooting right now......
