    4.3 diesling

    water or a mix of water and methanol injected into the intake has long been a solution to detonation in hi compression turbocharged engines ( Im sure the jetfire Oldsmobile turbo engine came with water /methanol injection as standard equipment .....you had to keep the reservoir full ) and if...

    4.3 diesling

    Generally I try to let engines idle down a bit , specially if it had a caning . I remember watching Bathurst 1000 and when the cars came in if they stalled they would pretty much instantly lunch the head gasket . Im talking ford 2 litre turbo YB cosworth turbo motors putting out about...

    How do you guys measure octane ron or mon ? just that we have 91 , 96 and 100+ octane . My Capri sounds like a diesel on 91 , bearable on 96 and loves 100+ .My 07 toyo will run on 91 but there is a noticeable drop in power , I think the ecu must pull a bit of advance out of it . I use the...

    Ah , I have seen some YT vids on some guy with a 5 acre pond and he was stocking it with Bluegills but they were only an inch or so long . Lots of other fish there to, some just to feed the others , quite interesting :)

    4.3 diesling

    Just a thought but if your engine has projected nose spark plugs maybe change them for normal ones ......after checking out all the good ideas above . Im thinking something is staying hot enough to cause compression ignition if you dont idle it down , and the most likely thing is the earth...

    1st thing to do would be to pull the spark plugs and make sure they are not carboned up and that they are the right ones

    1975 Chrysler 75 HP Outboard Weird Spark Issue

    Yep , sounds like your in the right area . Is it possible that the kill switch is working when in start pos. Im thinking that the extra wire is probly there to fix another fault rather than buy a part so someone has been in there . Id be suspicious :)

    1975 Chrysler 75 HP Outboard Weird Spark Issue

    I would be looking at the power supply to the ignition system , sounds like maybe the power is being cut to ignition when you turn the key to start . I would look at the ignition switch 1st, use a meter or test light to verify power to ign both when in the on position and the start position...
