    Hesitation on 351W

    My entire fuel system is new, including tank to carb without backflow (not needed with electric). When I am next on the water I am going to see how it does from idle to WOT out of the hole (I rarely do this-I am either at speed and go WOT or pulling a skier up and that is nowhere near WOT) I...

    Hesitation on 351W

    Thanks @Scott06. That helps to know that. I have been reading up and pretty much across the board I see that the 600 CFM is what is needed for marine applications; either Edelbrock or Holley.

    Hesitation on 351W

    Pretty sure it is not ignition, it is not a misfire since that would be more of a stumble. I have not looked at the plugs but can pull one to see. What I have is like not enough fuel so I like the suggestion to look at the secondary jets. Never heard of step up rods so will read up. Thanks

    888/233 Out Drives

    OK so if I do replace the lower case I will still have the 1.50....good. Thanks, pitch is clearly on the side on my other boat so did not look under nut. It is a Michigan Wheel 14.5x17.

    888/233 Out Drives

    I don't know the pitch and can't find it marked on the prop. Tach and all wiring is new so I trust it to be pretty close. Where is the ratio set in the drive? at the top bevel gears or the lower? My lower unit is in rough shape and I have a line on a replacement but the sell know nothing about it.

    888/233 Out Drives

    Right, me too but then don't want to blow things up. somewhere on here I read 4200 should be max for the 351W.

    Firing order HELP

    All right! Thanks for the extra eyes. I am going to go set the motor to TDC based on the crank pulley and pointer, check that the distributor to pointing to #1 and then order the wires to 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 again and see if she'll start.
