So if anybody would decide to chime in, I think I figured that I had to lower it because now it’s smooth as butter, but I’m almost all the way bottomed out lowering it. But I guess it is what it is correct me if I’m wrong.
OK things are looking much better here, if I’m getting witness marks on the top of the alignment tool, do I need to raise or lower the engine I just can’t wrap my head around that
gimbal bearing was stuck. I freed it up before I went into work. I will grease the **** out of it. It is smooth but it just would not rotate. I will raise the motor back up and play with alignment tonight.
Ok Scott it was just a question, I did not say that you said that. So I did install new mount bushings when the motor was out in 2020 for the new deck no mounting height was changed so I will look into the coupling, watched a video where they used a 1" pipe to check for initial lineup, would...
thanks for the reply Scott, I just do not get it I guess, so it should move as I put the alignment tool in? Is it not set once a new bearing is installed to where the engine is set at?
So 2 years ago motor was pulled and deck was replaced, all new mounts were pressed in, all was fine, except when doing realinement I had to lower the front all the way down to get a good aline. So now this year just today I can not get a easy push in of the tool without force and is showing it...
So just found a sloppy rotor, swapped that out with another, way better. Also just found one spring on my air/fuel mixing screws to be larger than the other WTH (bought that way) swapped them both from another carb, thank god for spare parts. Running 100% better
Ok so I found bad wire connection at resistor wire now it runs as it should. But now tiring to dial it in an finding it wont run well at idle unless the air/fuel adjusting screws are in all the way. Should I just pull carb and go thru it again? It was done last Sept and when winterized I ran...
carb cleaned in Sept, 3psi fuel pressure, couple pumps off throttle and held at about 1/3 to 1/2 throttle. fresh rebuild low hours. was just running strong the other day
First I will say what I have. 485 merc with pertronics, electric fuel pump. I have good fuel pressure, the carb was rebuild last Sept. and was running awesome for the 2 trips we had at end of season. I had 2 runs 2 weeks ago and ran perfectly, 1 run out last week was good as well but the next...
