And we get it right, not like NASAWow, didn't know both of you guys were bilingual!
so you have a fresh water cooling heat exchanger.oh and by the way the engine guns on a coolant circuit which gets cooled by the fresh water through one of those round radiators that are filled with little tubes that the water goes through
is the throttle cable allowing the plates to close ? there is an adjustment on throttle cable. If you take throttle cable off can you turn the idle speed (not mixture) downand by the way just wondering does anyone of you guys now what the best timing advance curve is for the mercruiser 888 so I could tune up the dist as it came with three sets of different springs and a graph of the different curves one can make out of them
thank you all

it says marine on it so you would go a base timing of 6 instead of the 10 it says in the manual?so you have a fresh water cooling heat exchanger.
then there should be a 70C themostat vs the 60 with a raw water cooled motor
stick with stock curve from mercruiser. 20 degree advance. 4-6 degrees of base timing
however what you are describing is an automotive distributor.
there should be a idle speed adjust screw that sets idle speed. if this is missing or miss adjusted yes it will die.the throtle cable is off if I close it it will die should it be compleatly closed at idle?
it does have an idle screw that I have put at 1and 1/2 turns in as soon as it started to oppen the buterflysthere should be a idle speed adjust screw that sets idle speed. if this is missing or miss adjusted yes it will die.
