Anyone tried this variant on Joe Reeves' procedure. I couldn't get a good result on Reeves with my 200 OceanPro, because disabling Quickstart was not as easy as advertised.
Even when hot ( or grounding B/W p/pack cable), the QS still always works while cranking OR for the first 5 seconds each crank, throwing the timing forward a lot from standard. I could see this happening with the timing light.
In this one, you disconnect the throttle cam so when you go full ahead you get advance but not throttle. the engine runs at around 1500, but the advance is full against the max advance stop.
You can then use the light to check the WOT timing and adjust, running.
QS will be disabled if temp is more than 96 degrees or you ground B/W cable from p/pack.
I would say you would need to take off the Reeves 4 degrees and set it 4 degrees low for the reasons Joe states.
I realize this is not to factory standards , but I think you get close this way.
One more question - anyone got an idea what you lose if you are a bit retarded
(your ignition, that is)
