You would probably end up with the same problem Tony.<br />You need to find the cause of the problem and stop throwing parts at it.<br />Did you ever check the fuel system Like This ? I know you used a remote tank, but what if it had an air leak in the hose or the hose diameter was too small, or ________?<br />Dead cylinder moving around???? Plug wire? spark plug? Just swap the wire to the other side and try it. The do the same with the plug. I know you don't have a KV meter, so eliminate it by moving the parts likely to cause the problem.<br />Did you ever check your distributor shaft to see if the bushings were worn out. After reinstalling the distributor, it may be located different than before causing the miss to move. The rotor could also touch the sensor in the distributor.<br />Have you done a simple compression test on this engine since you put the new heads on it?
Read the link I gave you. It has nothing to do with fuel pump pressure. I's the system "BEFORE" the pump. And like I said, a problem with your remote tank could cause the same exact problem. Reread this again..<br /> http://forums.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=015221 <br /><br />
Believe it or not, New things are sometimes bad, don't ASSUME they are good, check them, or move them to a different cylinder and see if the problem changes place.<br /><br />
They are inside the distributor shaft. Yes you need to remove the distributor. Then move the rotor and gear end back and forth in all directions. They usually are only worn in one direction, so check all directions to make sure.<br /><br />
Since your compression was 140 to 170 before you pulled the engine, and it's now 180 to 200 and the problem is exactly the same, I think you can safely rule out cylinder leakage as a problem.<br /><br />PS: and don't be offended, but do you know how to use the outdrive trim? You aren't trying to run with the drive all they way down are you?
<br /><br />Seriously, don't rule out the leakdown test or anything else. Just check a few of the easier things first.<br />You can pull the distributor check it reinstall, move plug wires around and verify the fuel system a lot faster than you can do the leakdown test.<br /><br />Here is another test you can do for ME. Disconnect the throttle cable and without adjusting mixture or anything else, adjust the idle speed down and see how slow you can get the rpm and let me know what rpm it will run at.
Ya THINK?????
<br />You mean you consider what happens in neutral going from idle to WOT for a split second is the same as running under full load at WOT.?????<br />Have you learned nothing about how an engine operates???<br />You haven't checked diddly and now you want to video it ..... WHY???? You follow through on nothing.<br />Several of us have asked you to do some tests. Never any test results.<br />Just more questions because you didn't do the tests. BUT, you did read something somewhere that someone said somewhere, or perhaps you thought of something else that looked like a likely solution, and it put the problem somewhere else.<br />That is exactly why this problem has gone on for a year now.<br />I'm beginning to think you really don't have a boat at all. You just like to create problems and say there are no answers. Just a big joke, and I fell for it.....<br />Shame on me.
