The motor ran before so replacing the module did nothing except maybe induce another problem, doubtful but can happen. Throwing parts at an issue is never a good idea
It's not the coil, distributor or module.
no, not correctly that is
no
It's either carb is not adjusted correctly (meaning mixer or idle speed) or timing is way off.
There is nothing wrong with increasing rpm to keep motor running and adjusting other things to get everything correct. Remember, when everything is connected as...
Connecting the interrupter together should not have tried to die, but may not be timed correctly yet, or there may be a module issue.
Get it timed correctly then we can start fresh
As for the black smoke that would indicate to much fuel
All couplers should have sharp square cut teeth. If teeth are getting worn then the coupler might be wearing to much. If it wears enough the coupler can strip just because of many years of time
The alignment tool should slide easy in/out. If it does that then the drive is aligned and/or the...
Trident makes good stuff and meets all USCG requirements. Have used it for fuel and raw water suction line. As with all this line, it's stiff and doesn't bend easy
From what you were saying prior it sound like there was no degree tab but you do have one.
The degrees go opposite of what I said because the pulley is passing a stationary tab. If you were to use the pulley, then it would be what I said
Having a advance timing light then just dial in what...
C = 2 x 3.14 x radius
C / 360 = distance per degree
Multiple (distance per degree) by how many degrees your looking for
Remember BTDC is to the right of the notch
This is where we need to get into what you actually have. Being a 1997 I figure you have EST ignition.
If that is the case, need to set timing at 1* BTDC not 12
This is done by using a timing shunt to ground. Also connecting interrupter switch together
I could move my old 1966 Alpha but have not been able to move any of my bravos. To do so this means fluid must be sucked out and thru the pump on the high side without out the pump turning.
I'm unable to see what you are , and don't see an old float being better then new, only maybe it's adjusted different
Float level is more for running then idle
I would probably still mount it in that location, because its a boat. Could mount it to the rail above sticking out pas the fender then you get into something over 8.5ft wide
Statute also states
Licensing is done thru fish and game
