    Re: help please old motor trouble.

    Hey hoo, I'm Back well for a couple of days any way then off to south straddie for a week, the motor ran smooth a lot smoother then before but I am not getting full rev's , is there any way of adjusting it to rev higher? with out upsetting idle.
    we picked the wrong day to go out up there windy and rough as. had fun caught a few fish hooked up on some thing that snapped 30 lb fire line.
    cheers chris

    Navi leave it for the moment getting full rev's may have a lot to do with the weather conditions slowing down your boat at the time.

    Wait for a better day first then see how much she is down on rev's, if at all.

    Then the first thing I would play with is the timing.
    Im not a great beleiver in adjusting the timing spot on with a light.

    I'm more inclined to tweak the timing for best running and performance, for that particular motor, it all changes with age, and load, and what fuel octane it's running.

    I have noticed in all me years that most times you can alter the timing way out of spec, on older motors and get them out of the doldrums.

    Good to hear it's up and running though.

    I'm back from sth straddie boat went really well not getting full rev's or as many as before but getting more speed 32 mph instead of 23 so I'm happy with that...

    Thank you one and all who gave me advice....


    cheers chris.

    Good to hear Navi, Adjust the timing a tad more, that oughta pick up the Rev's a bit.
    But better still give it better fuel economy, you may find it may not be as good as it was also. But that's motors easy fix really.
