I have a 1960 Sea-Skiff w/ a 283. Just had the carb (Carter WCFB) totally rebuilt. It runs great when you get it going, but it tends to stall when shifting into fwd/rev. Any ideas?
Thanks! |

Need to know what the idle is set at? Normally it would be around 500 rpm in gear or 600 to 700 in neutral with paragon trans. I checked my 283 f and m manuals and neither mention timing or idle which is sort of strange. |

RE: "I checked my 283 f and m manuals and neither mention timing "
My 283FLV manual says to use a timing light to set timing to the mark, i.e. the "crankshaft pully timing mark directly in line with the ignition timing indicator". It also says... Idle, in gear, 500 RPM. |

The "283" F or H model with the WCFB or the Rochester 4bbl should be set at 650-700 RPM's for the idle speed. my old service man. for the 283 H says 650 to 700 with the Paragon hydraulic or manual reverse gear.

Thanks all! I think my timing is set at around 500 @ idle. I will check it this weekend. |
