We are puzzled as well. LH/RH? Did you convert a LH to RH and see a surge issue? What engine size/year? Give us some history.
The port engine which runs cw from the front dampener. had the same firing order and it ran until I put on the TBI Kit then it would not idle. I should say I noticed the firing order was not right when it would not idle.
Bill, that thought crossed my mind as well.Ayuh,.... If the pulleys are turnin' Clockwise, that's a standard left handed motor, as viewed from the PTO end,....

Bill, that thought crossed my mind as well.
However, he has V-drives, which means that he is flywheel-end-forward.
I also thought about "oposite-of-engine-rotation" transmssions, but I'm not sure if V-drives offer that.
JPM, here is how we determine engine rotation.
This is industry standard, whether auto, industrial or Marine, and is always determined as though viewing the flywheel end of the engine.

Perhaps the OP is mistaking firing order for ignition advance!!??Runs but surges when at idle. Anyone ever seen this. I haven't tried to change the firing order yet. Kind a stumped. the engine has a TBI installed
no error codes in computer.
.................. I should say I noticed the firing order was not right when it would not idle.
I changed the firing order to standard rotation which it should be, set timing and it will idle now but not responsive.
Is that why you got banned from the bayliner owners club ?. You deviated too many times and got spanked.
Dear SUMMER HEAT,
I have found the tone on this forum to be extremely civil. I really would appreciate it if you would refrain from contemplating starting "troll-like" postings.
Let's all KEEP it civil here...please
