boatrookie, clams hasn't been around in quite a while, since the change in the forum. he lives in an area that only has dial up service, and got feed up with the slowness of the forum. loosing him and Tim, both live in same general area, was a great loss to the mercury forum.

It's direct charge and timing is at 30 degrees BTDC at 5500 RPM
Throttle pickup is from 2 BTDC to 2 ATDC and secondary throttle pick up is at 30 BTDC thats just at max spark advance

I have to agree with you there, but Bob has really stepped up to the plate. His expertise and knowledge has helped so many. I hope his typning fingers do not burnout on us!!8).

And he is not the only one, a big thanks to all that helpout !!!!!!
I feel frustrated so many times because I really want to help, but just don't have the answers or if I think I might, I don't want to give the wrong advice.:'(

Re: clams need help please

well i just finished reading Clams e-mail he sent and he said i have a plain vanilla cross flow. he also told to tell you guys that the new format on here is to slow for his dial-up, and a HELLO d
So there i did what i was asked.
i set it up the way he says to and i will be going to the lake tomorrow to set the carbs in gear. i hope it works out great.
Thanks for all the help guys

Re: clams need help please

i agree Bob has stepped up to the plate here, and trying to fill a big void. lets us know how the test run goes. i've had my last Merc, and have sold all my manuals.

Re: clams need help please

Its too bad Clams gave up. I have the slowest dial-up on earth, I get happy if I get 26kbps, but usually end up with a sloth-like 21kbps. No DSL in my area yet. If I drive two miles to my moms house, I can hook my laptop into her dsl, and I do that when I have to download something big. Otherwise, its not bad here, it doesn't take me long except when someone posts three hundred pics in their post....

Re: clams need help please

Well clams was right it worked great!!
we trolled awhile at a snails pace and it never loaded up and stalled
I talked to him last night to ask him some more questions and rather then e-mail back he gave me his # to call him. what a guy !!
You know i had the same thing with my DSL provider I kept trying to see if i could get service in my area through checking on-line and it kept telling me no but i then called AT&T phone company and they said they could hook it up. i left AOL dial. maybe you should try calling and asking if they have it, if you already haven't?
one more thing, thanks for all your guys help i couldn't of got the old girl running again if it wasn't for your help.
