    3 liter timing problem

    That makes total sense and I will check it today after work. Thanks again.

    3 liter timing problem

    Hey Droid - no offence ever taken when you're asking for help. I changed the switch out because a mechanic pinched it's wires between a couple of flanges of the shift brackets and it shorted out while on the water. Thank God for kickers. I installed a new one as per the manual. Have not checked...

    3 liter timing problem

    But that doesn't explain why the timing goes to 2 degrees ATDC when the jumper is removed and the shift interruptor is reconnected. The manual says it should go to 6-8 degrees BTDC and stay there at idle. Not go down to 2 degrees ATDC at 450rpm. That's my problem.

    3 liter timing problem

    Any ideas what is going wrong at idle? When I adjust the idle up it goes up by itself because the timing advances. Idle down and it goes down as the timing retards.

    3 liter timing problem

    Isn't the timing supposed to fall back to 15 degrees BTDC at 1000 rpm as per the curve chart? Not 0 degrees and run like crap?

    3 liter timing problem

    So I got a degree adjustment timing light and set the total timing at 2600 rpm to 26 degrees BTDC. When I idled it down to 1000, the timing went to 0 degrees at 800rpm. It was supposed to go to 15 degrees BTDC. Tried again to time it in base timing - no joy. Any other ideas are extremely...

    Sorry - shift interruptor wires.

    3 liter timing problem

    I take your advice to be more accurate than trying to estimate total advance with no mark with my head hanging down in the bilge neck craning to see the mark. Picking up a timing light with advance tomorrow and checking to see how my estimate was. Still would like to know why it's not going in...

    3 liter timing problem

    Took Dieter's advice and set the timing at what looked like 25deg BTDC. Hard to be exact as the timing tab only goes to 8. So tried for 3x the tab. When I brought it down to 800 rpm timing went to approx 15deg BTDC. It did not go back to the 2deg ATDC as it did before. I'm going to take it out...

    3 liter timing problem

    Modules are Merc parts. I'm not exactly sure what the total advance is at 25-2800. I understand what you're saying though. Would it do the same thing with idle timing at 6 degrees BTDC?

    3 liter timing problem

    I am about to give up and pod this thing. My 3.0 liter EST ignition won’t come out of base timing when the jumper is removed and the shift interrupt switch is reconnected. The timing does advance though when the rpm’s are raised. At 5-600 rpm it stays at 1 deg ATDC as per the manual after...
