hi i posted in past about my 402 engine as it stalls when you punch it and i have dicked around 6+ hours adjusting the damn fuel mixture screw doing like 1mm turn and sitting for 10 seconds nothing frigin works.... the marine is 4 weeks behind so i figure i might as well tackle it.. i posted in past videos asking what this thing i tightened nut for no one replied i found what i guess is called a trigger so i dunno if the guy before me had it set right as he rebuilt motor but who knows if its done right.. how do you 1 know if that trigger is set right on the threading on the lever..
next i contacted mercury and asked about the timing they sent info but i confused as i been watching videos reading articles and everyone does it a bit different ..
it says Primary Throttle Pickup 2 to 5 BTDC
and says Maximum Timming advance 27 BTDC
then i have read you need to go 0.150 to .250" im guessing .25 is a 1/4" not sure what .15" be as i know 16ths be easier if it was like 1/8" from TDC you set it so i confused about that ..
as some say mark an inch back from TDC a white line... and some talk about counting teeth but i dunno how that help me..
as there is no markings on the fly wheel just what the guy marked on here and who knows if its right.. so i a bit confused... is there a timing for dummies and to know if that trigger nut i tightened if that trigger is in the right spot.. as i fed up with this engine i can not get it not to stall when you punch it..
if you punch it and pull back before it dies you can then punch it and it wont stall but only when it idles for a min say... and i have replaced the carb kit pump kit cleaned the screen and did this 1 1/2 turns till i blue in the damn face... and nothing is working right...
i still gotta get a timing gun as they are 250 bucks so i gotta invest in that as no one has one i know of ..
so any artickles for dummies be great and a flywheel where you have no idea where the marks be except when person used 2 white lines one says TDC but thats it
