"HI Guys.
Thanks for all the
"HI Guys.
Thanks for all the good information I have found on this site.
I have got my motor back on the boat.
Before I hooked up the throttle linlage
I checked out the WOT Timeing by the Reeves method.
I would like to run this past you to see if I have got it right.
I set the timing advance to the WOT stop, ground the white/black wire to the powerpack.
Plugs out and grounded. I jumps the starter solenoid.
Found it to be 24BTC, my book said 17-19BTC
is this Right?
I have set it to 14BTDC as per the Reeves method.
I reset all the adjustment screws as they were all out of place.
Adjusted the idle timing stop then checked the idle timing set to 4BTDC.
Refitted the gearshift and throttle linkage.
Setting thottle to get both idle and wot.
Tomorrow I will get it in a 40 gal tank
and run it till hot.
I will check to see if all works as it should.
Then let it go cold and retorque the heads.
On Sunday IF all ok, I hope to get it in the lake and run it around slowly to let it bed in for a hour or two."
